When Shoba struggles with the loss of her child, Shukumar does not respect her grief. Instead of comforting her he distances himself and makes mention of her lack of makeup. When Shukumar does try to reach out to his wife by making her dinner in efforts to pick up the pieces of their relationship, Shoba does not respect his efforts and either eats dinner in her study or makes it seem as if eating dinner with her husband is a burden. "The couple has reached a stalemate, an impasse that has quickly led to indifference. The two live separate lives, yet they pretend to participate in a marriage. When Shoba finally stops in to greet him at night, Shukumar tries to look busy" (David). Instead of respecting each others’ differences and attempting to be empathetic the couple decides to avoid each other
When reading fondly fairy tales related to happy endings as a child, marriage seems remarkably magical with obstacles nowhere on the horizon. Moreover, when the princess walks down the aisle to meet her prince, they take each other hand, gazing into each other's eyes, both thinking of nothing but the wonderful experiences that laid ahead of them.

Some think shiny jets like the F-22 Raptor or the F-35 Lightning II make the United States Air Force (USAF) the best in the world. I don’t. The USAF as we know it wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for transformational leaders. We, by ‘we’ I mean Airmen, tend to think of ourselves as employed in a technical occupation, turning wrenches or pushing buttons or adding up figures. But we are in the Service of Ideas, ideas like “man can fly” and “air superiority is critical to national defense.” But flying itself didn’t create an air force. Having the idea that mastery of the “Wild Blue Yonder” would make the United States (US) military the best and most lethal in the world, and that the US Army did not fully appreciate that idea, was a job only a transformational leader could accomplish.

Panchaali wallows in anger and helplessness when Kunti come to a decision that all her five sons should join in matrimony with Draupadi. She presumes that Arjun would stand up for her and speak up for her that she is only married to him. But Draupadi is disillusioned by him for he abides by his mother’s wish and doesn’t say anything. While Draupadi’s father, brother and the Pandavas examine about the practicality of Draupadi espousing five brothers, their focal point is family honour and customs. Not even a single person gives eminence to Draupadi’s desires. The depiction of Draupadi as an angry woman in a man’s world brings out the status of women in a patriarchal society where women’s wishes are not considered as important. She justifies this lifetime sentence by remunerating that probably this was her punishment for treating Karna unfairly.
