Reading Notes: PDE Ramayana D

These notes are from: Valmiki's Hermitage, by Donald A. Mackenzie from Indian Myth and Legend.

Plot:

• FOR REAL??
• Okay, Rama is lowkey a jerk
• He should stand up for Sita
• She proved that she was virtuous- even the gods said so!
• The villagers are a bunch of gossips
• Okay, Valmiki is now my fave- a woodland poet- love that
• 16 years later and Sita has some sons
• Rama feels bad- horse sacrifice 
• Oh, Sita's sons are fighting with the horse!
• They fight the army- probably a bad idea
• Rama shows up!
• OMG IS HE THE DAD? 
• I kinda don't like that

Notes/Story Ideas

• I'm a bit surprised that Rama is acting this way.
• I feel bad for Sita
• To rewrite this, Sita would leave Rama for good (since he doubted her)
• Then he would weep in sadness for her
• Then she would marry Valmiki and they would take over the kingdom!
• Leave him girl! 
• Team Sita
