Nine Ideal Indian Women: Sita, Promila, and Shakuntala
I already like this reading because it gives backstory to Sita!
In section II, I like the story it tells. Like the family described, in my personal family, I also have several sisters who are all best friends and a dad who cares deeply! This is a story that can be told in so many different ways. This could be made into a more contemporary story with suitors trying to win a fathers trust.
Section 5 has so much imagery for a wedding day. I would like to retell this in a modern setting. Maybe changing flags, elephants and horses to flowers and cars and such. It is also such a sweet story of how Rama and Sita experienced love at first sight. This version of the Ramayana is much more romantic! I really like it. Lastly, I want to more strongly romanticize the success of Rama in breaking the bow. This section is arguably the most exciting and triumphant!
