Reading Notes: The Rainy Seasons, Part C

For this weeks reading in Part C of the Ramayana, I will be focusing more on the story The Rainy Seasons by Romesh Dutt and Arthur William Ryder. Rama has already figured out that Sita is missing (because Ravana has kidnapped her). A new king is also set into term (Sugriva) who is willing to help Rama. However, Rama cannot go and talk to him because it is the "rainy season." Therefore, Rama must follow the terms of his exile and wait for the rainy season to end in order to enter a city.

In this story, Rama essentially opens a door to his fears and anguish of losing the love of his life. He goes on and spills his feelings for a couple of verses. I will be focusing on this the most. I may talk from the perspective of Sita and have her do the same as Rama. I will also be relating the story back to the one I wrote last week.
