Week 6: Reading Diary A

Sita Notes:

• Even in captivity and starvation, Sita was beautiful
• She speaks logically with Ravana
•  Sita is so fiesty and strong to stand up against the guards
• Trijata completely changes the situation
• Sita and Hanuman's interactions are very sweet

Points of Interest:

• Hanuman wasn't really paying attention when they were trying to decide who would go to lanka
• Hanuman as a cat!
• Maybe Hanuman thought Mandodari was Sita because Sita could be Mandodari's daughter... makes Ravana's obsession much more disgusting
• Ravana: "The nicer I am, the worse you treat me!" (p. 199)
• I like this version of Hanuman-- he seems more monkey-like
• "Never fear to love well" Hanuman (p. 220)
