Abstract
The epic Mahabharata fascinates people because there are many heroes and it leads to debates on the internet to determine who is the best archer: Arjuna or Karna. The data for the analysis were taken from two Mahabharata books and texts from wikipedia.org. Bourdieu’s approach on arena, capital, and habitus were used to analyse the data. The aim of this paper is to find out whether Bourdieu's thinking is one hundred percent applicable. The result of the research shows that social and economic capital of the analysed characters determined that Arjuna is superior against Karna and Bourdieu's thinking is applicable with minor modifications.
