Week 7: Reading Diary B

Buck's Ramayana
Reading Notes: Pages 374-432

Important Notes and Thoughts:

  • Wow, that makes me so angry that even though Sita was SO loyal to him and didn't so much as even let Ravana touch her, Rama still would rather listen to gossip than his own wife
  • I literally can not believe that he is such a big people pleaser and is abandoning the love of his life for gossip and approval
  • That whole paragraph regarding Sita being banished because of Karma is really confusing and doesn't make any sense to me
  • Well I guess Lava and Kush are born without a father that cares for them...
  • Why would Rama invite Sita's dad to his festival and keep a golden deer in her spot when HE was the one that abandoned her? It's funny how he realizes that Kush and Lava are his sons
  • So Sita asks to basically die if it is true that she didn't cheat... since she didn't, she dies? Doesn't make sense. 
  • Makes me sad that Lakshmana breaks into Kala and Rama's meeting for Durvasa and dies.. 
  • Hanuman's loyalty is incredible. He's more loyal than anyone. 
  • Why does Rama jump into the river.. basically committing suicide?
