The story goes on with Duryodhana getting mad that the Pandavas are still alive and they built a city Indraprastha and Yudishthira is crowned. I thought the game of dice in the book was interesting part of this section. Yudishthira ended up gambling his brothers away and Draupadi as well. I mean how intense is the game for him to sell his siblings for the game? Not a very smart idea if you tell me. Also the part where Duhshasana dragging Drapaudi by her hair?! Wow... I can't believe how rude and disgusting they treat women and then forcing her to undress. It is like they have no respect for Draupadi and now she is summoned to be an object of this dice game so that these people can degrade her. That is just awful!
It is clear to see that Yudishthira has no self-control in the game and he ended up losing the game, so now the Pandavas are going to exile. How dumb of him to lose everything knowing the exile was 13 years and poverty. So far, I think Arjuna is probably the best character in the book. He has self-control when he was sentenced to live with the women. However, I think it is easier for him since he was castrated and so luckily for him he was tempted by all the women. He later joined the Pandavas and becomes familiar with weapons.
