I have read the Mahabharat from POV of Karna in a Marathi Novel "Mrtyunjay" ... its beautiful...
Just had to add one thing ...
I had read in it that Karna was against the game of dice ... he told Duryodhan to directly challenge Pandavas for a war ... but Shakuni convinced Duryodhan for this game and planned to cheat Pandavas ... Karna was not even present during the game but when he got to know about Draupadi's insult he actually came there to help Draupadi ...
He entered the hall and Draupadi who was running around and pleading to all the elders to help her, came in front of Karna, she thought that Karna being from Duryodhan's side he will never help her so she moved away from him without asking or help... This enraged Karna ... He thought Draupadi to be arrogant and found it insulting that she didn't ask him for help for which he actually came there ... and that is what triggered him to make that "Wh**e" comment on her...
And as for Draupadi being in love with Karna ... ummm... cant say love... but yes ... she liked him ... and this thought had crossed her mind that if she had allowed Karna to participate in her swayamvar ... she wouldn't have had to marry these 5 brothers...
I don't know whether it id true or not but I read that
Once during the Vanavas time Sri Krishna came to meet Pandavas , he felt hungry and asked for some thing to eat. Then Arjun with his arm hit a fruit which actually belongs to a rishi ( That tree gives a fruit a day which belong to a rishi) then worried Darmaraj asked for a soluation to which Krishna told tell your deepest wish which you want it to be fullfiled
First it was Darmaraj's wish he told to Follow the path of Drama all the time but the fruit did not move krishna smiled and told that it may be your wish but the deepest one, it ok tell me ear to which he replied to rule Hastinapur solely and completely. Fruit moved little
Then it was Bheem's turn he said to kill Duryodhan
Then it was Arju who told to become worlds biggest Archer
Then Nakul shadev to follow path of the brother and to serve them
Then Draupati said to serve her five husbands then fruit did not move Krishna again smiled and asked to tell it in his ears she told to have Karna has her six husband.
At the time of Final fight when Krishna told to support Padavas and he can have Drapati as his wife he told Draupati is my Brothers wife that mean she is my sister in law and sister in law is like mother so I cannot think like that and my life is for only Duryodhan and his friendship so I cannot support Pandavas and become blackmark on beautiful relation called friendship. And whenever people called me law caste he was there and today when he started a war with trust on me I cannot think of breaking that trust.
At Arjun hit karn and Karn was about to dead Arjun said good that this worst fellow (neech) died, Krishna said no don' say that he too has great qualities one of them is his charity
