Week 7 Reading Diary B: Rama's Remorse

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts from pages 374-432 of the Ramayana retold by William Buck.  


  • Thank goodness for Hanuman.  Things would have turned out very different for Bharata.  
  • Manthara asks for forgiveness.  WHAT
  • Well at least Sita and Rama had a good 10,000 years...
  • UGH THIS MAKES ME SO MAD. LAKSHMANA DO NOT DO THIS.
  • Seriously.  Rama makes his brother deal with this situation.  HOW ABOUT YOU GO AND TALK TO YOUR LOVING WIFE.
  • I have a hard time believing this is a curse if Rama made the decision himself.  He parted from her himself, instead of it being an effect of karma. 
  • He invites Sita's father to the festival but not her..
  • My heart broke when Sita asks to prove her innocence.  
  • That's how Lakshmana dies :(
  • Sorry but I don't like that Rama gets a happy departure.  He disgraced himself in the end, I wish a stronger warrior took him down.
