Mahabharata Episode 40 - Duryodhan's Humiliation
Big party
Yud & Draupadi take the holy bath
Duryodhan is extremely envious and clearly has a lot of hate in his heart
I've noticed that jealousy is a common theme in the Mahabharata.
Duryodhan is embarrassed several times by the pools and crystal floors...poor guy can't catch a break.
This part made a lot more sense to me than it did in the original Mahabharata. Although there are deeper underlying meanings, the surface level of this scene reminds me of myself on a bad day. It could be humorous to create a story based off of this with just an ordinary person having a series of unfortunate events.
Mahabharata Episode 41 - Shakuni's Evil Plan

Mahabharata Episode 41 - Shakuni's Evil Plan
Duryodhan leaves and continues to think about the embarrassment
He is furious and plans revenge against the Pandavas
It is sad to see how much envy Duyodhan has for the Pandavas. It really made me think!
They create the gambling scheme
"The dice would be deadlier than the sword"
There is an opportunity here to create a story about other types of addiction
Mahabharata Episode 42 - Yudhishthir Gambles

Mahabharata Episode 42 - Yudhishthir Gambles
Vidur invites the Pandavas to come gamble and they travel to Hastinapur
They made a huge court especially for this gambling match
Yudhishthir loses everything
Mahabharata Episode 43 - The Gambling Match
They made a huge court especially for this gambling match
Yudhishthir loses everything
Mahabharata Episode 43 - The Gambling Match
Yudishthir wages his brothers and he can't stop
He wagers himself.....and loses again
He has lost everything and continues to spiral downward. Instead of stopping, he continues to bet more things. Again, it would be interesting to create a story about addiction.
Mahabharata Episode 44 -Draupadi at Stake
Yudishthir is fooled to believe that he could get out of his slavery by wagering Draupadi
This scene made me so sad, just as it did when I read it the first time!
It breaks my heart that Yudishthir could wager the love of his life that way. I can't even begin to imagine how she felt when she received the news. I'm tempted to write a story from this perspective!
