KARNA META Ok so we all know that Karna got fuckt up with a shit ass life, but in this thread I'll be talking about why, specifically, he got a fuckt up life, and also how it relates to the themes of the Mahabharata, from which he originates
-his own dharma. It wasn't just limited to curses- karna was basically a lonely incel who allied himself with A Literal Cunt because the cunt was the only guy who wanted to be his friend. You could argue that it's shitty luck- however, luck doesn't exist. Theres only the fallout-

-of your actions, which are either right or wrong by dharma's standards. And oh boy, karna fucked up a lot. As we all know, this ended in his death- all of his curses and bad karma came together to bite him in the ass at a crucial moment, and he was decapitated by his brother.

What is interesting about dharma is that you can still be a good person and do the wrong thing. The M goes on and on about how good Karna is, and how noble, etc, etc. However, his dharma was confused from the beginning- and because of that, his actions were almost always 'wrong'

That's probably why he's a villain and the pandava brothers are the protags; though they had similar roles in the conflict, the pandava brothers, led by the eldest, yudistira, always followed the laws of dharma, and were therefore victorious

This is further proven by the fact that yudistira was literally the incarnation of the god of Dharma. Gods had a heavy role to play in the M- karna and the 5 brothers were incarnation of various gods, and the P.brothers were aided by Krishna, who is Literally The Creator.

GOING BACK TO HIS MOM FOR A HOT SECOND: its like Really Really bad for an unmarried girl to have kids, which is why she was all hush hush. She only had the pandava brothers after she was married to the king Pandu. So yeah even karnas birth was an act against ones own dharma.

It's shown that she loves him, and recognizes him- however, unveiling him as her son would make things even worse, and might make the upcoming civil war even messier. So yeah, dharma is a bitch
