What do you make of Karna’s sudden appearance during the students’ display of their skills (pp.15-17)? What reaction does he provoke? How does he interact with Arjuna, Kripa and Bhima on the one hand, and Duryodhana on the other hand? Where did your own sympathies lie as you read this part of the story? Can you say anything in defense of the other side? What do you think is/will be the narrative function of this episode?
