For part B of the reading notes, I decided to focus on the plot with the battle between Arjuna and Karna. I chose this fight scene to create tension between characters, and this allows me to have a wider range of options for my portfolio. In this section, I found the main characters to be Arjuna and Karna. These two gets into a quarrel with supervision from Krishna. Arjuna makes the first move toward Karna, where Karna finds the upper-hand first. Karna breaks Arjuna's bow and charges towards him. Arjuna was supposed to be given a new weapon according to the rules of battle, however, Karna did not allow for this to happen. Arjuna manages to fix his bow and charge towards Karna, where Karna finds himself in a similar situation as Arjuna. Karna's chariot wheel gets stuck on the ground, and Karna asks Krishna for respite, which was denied. Arjuna gets the final blow to Karna with an arrow, thus ending the battle between the two. This story is great for understanding fairness and non-greediness.
