The Ramayana of Valmiki a story about Rama and his wife Sita. Rama is the one that is suppose to be the next king, but his father’s other wife wants her son to become king and tells Rama that he can become king if he goes to live in the forest for certain years. Rama agrees and accepts , but he tells his wife to stay even though she wants to go with him. Sita says to him that he is her husband so she will go with him to anywhere just so she can stay with him. She finally convinces him to let her go. After they have lived in the forest for a long time, the evil king appeared and kidnapped Sita. Rama then went to go save Sita. After rescuing Sita, Rama became not trusting Sita being pure. After they returned to the kingdom , Sita soon became pregnant. But Rama has doubts about her pregnancy, so she sends her away. Sita became heart-broken, crying all day. After years, Rama came to see her. He ahs finally returned to her. In the cartoon” Sita Sings the Blues (animated film by Nina Paley) “, it shows us how the story can relate to the modern times. The author is being abandoned by her husband. Here are some pictures of the film.
I like your interpretation of the story and the film. What is your opinion on the story?
Also, Rama & Sita were both heavily influenced by their dharma, which allowed them to accept their fate/misfortunes regardless if they felt it to be just or not.
Sita， just so weak, how can she still love Rama, after Rama broke her heart. Rama is just too shallow
