THE_ORDEAL_OF_QUEEN_DRAUPADI

Peter Brook’s The Mahabharata
Draupadi having unlimited amounts of clothing with Krishna on the other side of her was a pretty cool scene. I like that we can see the supernatural taking place.
I never noticed that the gambling that resulted in the
family being sent into exile saved them from being murdered. There must be an
underlying meaning. Perhaps the writer of the Mahabharata is trying to give us
the age-old wisdom that everything happens for a reason. This is backed up by
the gambler interacting with his wife and saying that he does not understand
why some are rewarded for bad deeds and others don’t seem to find favor.
Perhaps he received favor, he just did not understand it at the time.
Obviously, the moral element must be a large part of the
Epics.
The sound of the demons in the woods was so good. The female
creeps up on Beama and almost eats him. He clearly can not see her. She decided
not to kill him and fell in love with him. She transformed herself into a
beautiful woman. We see Beama answer her question. She asked him if she thought
he was beautiful. He says, “like the Night.”
