This Thursday I will be doing my reading diary over the
comic book Subhadra: Beloved Sister of Krishna and Balarama. As my previous reading
diary I wanted to do my story over characters that I feel like really did not
have a main focus in our assigned readings. So the story begins by giving
background information on Subhadra. She is the sister to Balarama who is
Duryodhana’s teacher. This actually gives me an idea of having Drona and
Balarama fight since they both represent a person of knowledge. Arjuna is actually
attracted to her hich happens to be one of Duryodhana’s worst enemies. He first
sees her after being exiled for interrupting Draupadi’s and Yudhisthira’s
private time. She actually choses him over Duryodhana giving him more reasons
to hate Arjuna. Arjuna basically “kidnaps” her while on her way home. When the
people find out of what Arjuna has done they initially plan to go after them
but after talking to Krishna he tells them to bring them back but to congratulate
them. I would also like to include the part of the story where she fears returning
to Duryodhana’s hometown because she Is afraid that his other wife Draupadi
might not like her. It turns out that Draupadi actually likes and accepts her. I
would like to switch this up and have them hate each other and even have a fight
scene!
