Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part D

 That last part of Mahabharata was Amba seeking her revenge on Bhishma.  I really liked this story and all the details.  This might be one that I recreate myself.  Bhishma is defeated and Drona takes over.  He wants Yudhishthira prisoner but Arjuna promises to defend his brother.  There is a battle in which many die and Abhimanyu is one of them.  This is very hard for Arjuna so he decides to take revenge.  Bhima also loses his son.  I really enjoyed the episode where the Pandavas take down Drona.  I liked all the elements of trickery and might recreate this later in the week.  There is a lot of revenge in this last part.  Bhimas seeks revenge against Duhshana for how he treated Draupadi. Arjuna's and Karna's confrontation will be the high point of this battle, but it is not the end.  Ashwatthaman is very upset about the death of Drona so he seeks revenge on the Pandavas, planning to kill them in their sleep.
