Exemplary Characters with Extreme Extirpation in ‘The Mahabharata’

Abstract

This particular article deals with the epic characters with exceptional sentiments that laid a path to their last breath. Individually, personally they were very powerful with exceptional qualities that kept them in such supreme level of their kind but their gratitude, attitude pulled them down to the earth. In spite of knowing their uniqueness; knowingly or unknowingly; willingly or unwillingly; fortunately or unfortunately, they died pathetically for the mercy or gratitude which they possessed on their dependents. Unable to express their own feelings, they met their end pathetically. The researcher would like to list out Bishma, Karna, Gandhari, Kundhi and Amba from the great epic ‘Mahabarata’. The above mentioned characters were exceptionally talented as individuals. Somehow or other they had to derail themselves for their dependents. Because of gratitude, they totally lost either their happiness or their bright future irrecoverably.
