The second part of The Mahabharata narrated by Epified was
interesting like the first. I really
loved the emotion that the narrators portrayed of the characters and the artist
did an excellent job by showing great details in regards to the characters
movements, the characters personable traits like the reactions on their faces
in regards to the matters they were dealing with, and lastly the back ground scenes
where things took place.
I especially enjoyed
the story of Karna and the details in which the narrator explained the characters
and their actions. Karna was a very
admirable character in the story; he appreciated his parents for everything
they had done for him. Because he knew
he was sewn from a different cloth, after his encounter with Drona not once did
he mention that he was born from a higher class and was “adopted” by people who
were of a lower class. He had the
opportunity of explaining how he received his great warrior instincts, but he
felt that if he were to explain the truth it would be a way of betraying his
real parents, the ones who saved his life from the basket that was floating in
the river. His parents felt bad because
they knew that Karna wanted to train, but with patience and time, a great sage
had helped him.
The character of Drona was different than what I
expected. I portrayed him as an older
man who was wise and very caring. In
Epified’s version Drona was a bit cold and harsh. They made the character seem as if status and
money was the only way to spark interest in training other young men besides
the Pandava’s.
