Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part C



  • It is interesting that the Pandavas were willing to save Duryodhana from captivity 
    • This shows a lot about their character and honor 
  • I like the idea of writing a story about the questions the pandas are asked when the visit the river 
    • It was interesting that Yudhishthira  was the only one to listen and answer the questions 
    • Because of this test by his father, Yama, the god of death and of Dharma
    • After he answers the questions his brothers come back to life
    • It would be interesting to write these questions as the basis for the Goblet of Fire riddles that Harry and his friends must answer 
  • The Pandavas going into disguise reminds me of the poly juice potions that they used in Harry Potter 
    • It is surprising how many connections can be drawn between this story and Harry Potter
  • I can't believe the Pandavas end up dying one-by-one
  • It would be interesting to have them become some of the ghosts of the castle
    • For some reason I picture them as the mischievous ghosts that cause mischief in the castle
    • I think this would be a great thing to write a story about, it would also bring in the Patil Sisters, who will tell Harry, Ron and Hermione about the history of the ghosts who haunt the castle.
