Week 5 Reading Diary A: Buck's Ramayana

pg 110-161

  • Bharata's dream as possible story (111) 
  • I can really picture the city after the King's death. Like an old mining town that thrived in the 50s but now is desolate and empty
  • I like the interaction between Bharata and the queens in this version better than in Narayana's
  • Possible story: Kaikeyi in her next life - what will it be like? (117)
  • Birth of beautiful women from tree vines
  • Bharata and his mother hugging after Kaikeyi was 'forgiven' is a nice addition. Her shame makes her more likable 
  • Rama and Sita going for a walk in the forest - what would they talk about? Beautiful scenery setting
Rama shooting the crow that attacked Sita (Source)
  • What is the point of the crow scenario?
