Reading Diary B Week 9: Draupadi

Sharing Draupadi as a wife?  Possible storytelling blog?  From her husbands’ perspectives?  What is it like to share a wife?  Difficult?  Easy?  I don’t know because they are both men, and men are dogs.  Yes, they are jealous creatures but really.  I wonder what she thinks of this situation.  Is she happy?  Is she sad?  Does she like one more than she likes the other?  Is there some favoritism?  Do her husbands try to buy her off?  With what types of gifts? Animals, jewelry, gold, diamonds, trips, luscious clothes?  Does she like this?  Does she have a hatred for men so deep that she enjoys the thought of being a shared wife as destroying both of these men at the same time?  Good story from her perspective.  Or is she a true sweetheart who loves both of her husbands deeply and cares about their emotions and feelings?  She loves them equally?  She could never choose between them because they both make her truly happy?  How utterly disgusting.  I like the story better where she hates both of them.  Biased.  Is she sad about Arjuna’s exile?  If she truly loved him, she would be sad.  If she truly hated him and her other husband Yudhishthira, she would also be sad because there would be no competition, no male ego and jealously to destroy one another.  That means that she would have to do this work herself and that would be no good
