Week 5: Reading Diary A

Sita Notes:
  • Sita didn't want Rama to go to war because the demons had not done anything to them... (Yet) (p. 118) 
  • She knew war would change him
  •  Sita is kidnapped before the big kidnapping by a rakshaka! (p.126-7) but it's really a trapped musician in a demon's body who wanted to die

Things of Interest:
  • Rama's forest bow wasn't good because the ma who made had been having an affair with someone's wife and was nervous and Agastya knew! (p. 115)
  • Foreshadowing: Agastya says the deer are harmless
  • "Demons do not love men, therefore men must love each other." (p. 117)
  • "Dharma leads to happiness, but happiness cannot lead to dharma." (p.118)
  • Indra is such an interesting character- he seems petulant at times
  • Surpanakha was super ugly (p. 127)
  • Worst pickup lines! "My dear, why keep that skinny girl?" and "I am Surpanakha! I have chosen you for my husband!" (p. 128)
  • "a co-wife is misery" Rama's opinion on polygamy
