This is another graphic novel. I really love Sita so much, and I thought it would be fun to learn more about her in order to write more about her. So far, the many ways that I have read the story of Sita, they all really don't have as much variances as I had expected. The channel that the story is told is mostly what changes.
This book is so vivid in color. More so than the comic books or the other graphic novel I read about Sita. Also, this one I checked out and could take home and the others had to be read in the library. I took more extensive notes on those because it was harder to be able to revisit them if I had questions.
"Violence breeds violence, and an unjust act only begets greater injustice."
In the beginning in the forest, Sita narrates that it was simple compared to where they came from. The temptations of evil came upon them and caused problems, first in the demon, then the deer. The minstrel that causes Sita to cross the ward of protection and be nabbed by the demon king Ravana.
"The Rakshasi, Trijatha, was kind and compassionate and had the gift of prophecy."
Hanuman shows up.
