The battle between Arjuna and Karna is one of my favorite scenes in this story. I love the war type passages that you know are going to end in someone’s defeat, which usually makes it a big turning point in the overall story. I would like to rewrite this excerpt in one of a few ways. It could be told using characters from game of thrones. I can imagine this battle perfectly between Ygritte and Ramsay Snow. Another way to do it would be to change up the plot of the battle to make it a little bit more dramatic, which is one of my favorite ways to write for this class. It could also be written as letters home from a third party’s perspective.
Another great battle takes place between Duryodhana and Bhima. Duryodhana ran to hid under a lake once he realized that he no longer had the manpower to win the war. His hiding spot is compromised and he reveals himself. At this point the two warriors begin their epic battle. Duryodhana is said to have landed a blow to Bhima’s head that nearly ends the battle, but Bhima recovers and lands a crippling shot to Duryodhana’s knee. This is considered to be a violation of the combat laws of that day. So both Bhima and Arjuna have won their individual battles by neglecting the laws of combat, but not before being cheated by their opposition in one form or another. I like these two characters; therefor I wish that they had won more admirably. I would like to write about one of these battles being won in a more commendable fashion.
