The great war of the Maha bharata is over. Or is it? This is a
single extended family wracked in conflict. Both sides succumbed to
treachery. Ashva tthaman, the young leader of the three survivors
on the losing side, is incensed at his father's murder. He returns
after dark to the now sleeping encampment. The sacrifice of the
unsuspecting champions, the "Dead of Night," ensues. The five sons
of Pandu have escaped. After a final confrontation, a missile
crisis, Ashva tthaman concedes defeat but redirects his missile
into the wombs of the victors' women. They miscarry, and cannot
hope for more children. Now the survivors, victors and vanquished,
must struggle to comprehend their loss. "The Women" of both sides
are confronted by their men's mangled corpses in a masterpiece of
horror and pathos. But their potent curses must be curbed to usher
in a new era. Maha bharata Books Ten and Eleven give voice to the
vanquished, to the psychology of loss and the conflicting desires
for understanding and revenge.
