The amplification of evil-
Bhima spends his entire childhood tormenting the Kauravas*action-anger graph shows a straight-slanted line, passing through the origin*
Draupadi laughs at Duryodhan, forgetting all codes of kshatriya hospitality.*Graph shows exponential curve, not passing through the origin*
She gets humiliated at the Sabha. She is supremely enraged and so are we, as readers.*We now require a logarithmic scale on the graph to plot the change*
everyone we care about dies, everyone we don't care about too.She is bereft of all those whom she thought gave her social position and power- sons, brothers and father(who had nothing to do with her humiliation, may I add) .Well, as a consolation, she got to wash her hair after 14 years in fresh blood (Thai therapy? no?)
She only has those 5 "useless" husbands.
If I sound insensitive- Get over it, it's just a STORY! "Draupadi is not your neighbor's daughter."
