Reading Diary B: Searching for Sita

Reading the actual story behind Ravana’s curse was really interesting! It added a lot to the story—in my opinion—to include this information.  Though, the story itself made me rather sad because even though Sita and others who might catch Ravana’s interest in the future are protected, this curse did nothing for Rambha herself. The issues between the two monkey brothers are still rather sad. It seems silly they did not communicate better, but I guess that’s the way the world works… Also, WHY DO WOMEN JUST KILL THEMSELVES WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS DIE??? Stop it, right now. It seems pretty ridiculous that Sugriva was too drunk to pull it together and help Rama, after everything Rama did for him. He would still be hiding away on a hill without Rama! Angada thinks he screwed up so he decided to meditate and die. What? Why does everyone want to die? Seriously? This is so dramatic—not in the good way. They waited an entire rainy season to even begin looking for Sita and he thinks one extra month means he should just die? Why is everyone so intent on death and destruction in this story?
