Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata Part C (Krishna and Karna)

Krishna and Karna

Krishna and Kunti both try to persuade Karna to stop the war. Kunti tells him that she is his mother, and then tells him how he was born. Karna is upset with his mother because he left him and is only now telling him, however he is still very honored that his father is Surya. Karna tells her that he cannot be with her or his brothers because he has lived a whole different life with different people who he considers his loyal family and friends. They end up going their separate ways to prepare for the battle.

I would like to create this story and give Kunti, Krishna, and Karna a few more lines of dialogue. I like this story because it shows that you can choose who your family is, which can be an important lesson in life for some people.
