Reading Notes: Ramayana Part C

Source Story: Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists by Sister Nivedita
In this part of the story, Ravana attempts to woo Sita once again. At this point, she's been in captivity for a little while, but she still hasn't given in to Ravana's attempts. The weird thing to me is that Ravana shows up to get her attention with his faithful wives behind him

There must be at least one of these wives who don't like that fact that Sita is getting all of this attention. That would be what I would add to the story. Women are always jealous and envious when another woman is getting attention from their partner.

I would use either Sita's perspective or this jealous wife's perspective.

Drona approaches me saying, "I have heard a word that you claim yourself to be my pupil." I nod my head. "Yes, ask of me anything and I shall deliver." Drona thinks for a second. "Chop off thy right thumb, for that is what I must have of you." I nod, and with a smile and my head held high grab for my knife. I place my hand on a tall rock nearby and quickly slice my thumb from my right hand. The blood begins to gush and quickly I rip a piece of my garment off to wrap my severed hand in. I turn to hand my prized thumb to Drona. And then it hits me. How might I have any skill left witho...
