Similarities And Similarities Between Sita And Sita

She even furthers her argument by saying that this leads to sexual inequality and misogyny. Katha however argues a different side. Katha elaborates that daughters should not define themselves by relating to their mothers, because by doing this she is equating that women must adhere to the traditional values. These traditional values, are the problem with gender difference.

Satrapi uses her own relationship with her parents as a metaphor for her relationship with the world. The conflict she experiences with her parents is a necessary part of her childhood. Her relationship with her parents is caring, yet full of tension. Her parents love her and seek to provide her with the best education and hope to provide her with a life full of privileges.

Ramayana, translated by William Buck, is an ancient Indian epic telling the story of a prince named Rama who fights against his adversary, Ravana. Although there are many important female characters throughout the book, they are often seen as subordinate to their male counterparts where intelligence and strength are concerned. One character who proves this stereotype wrong is Sita, Rama’s wife, who often shows that she has the capacity of being just as powerful as the men of the story. By being more mindful than most people around her, Sita defies the expectations that many characters have placed on her. Sita lets the reader see another side of women’s power and shows us the strength that women could have. The reason that Sita proves to be powerful is that she seems to have an understanding of the deeper meaning of her life; precisely the quality that men don’t expect her to have.

In conclusion, the differences in early social and gender roles pertaining to the Ottoman and Mughal dynasties prominently lie mainly in gender roles and social structure. Both of these civilizations share a number of similarities but are all unique to their cultural and geographic history. Essentially allowing both civilizations to play vital roles in each other's history. How different world history would be without either of these

Badami is shown how females rights is an issue. Women aren’t allowed to do certain things. For example work, leave their homes, and talk with certain people. Maya had told her dad how she was going to marry a white man, instead of a Hindu man. Her dad had nothing to say but “ If you persist in doing this foolish thing...never show your face in this house again. Never” (113). Maya’s dad cares more about what others will think of him rather than how his daughter feels. Since he respects his family's dignity more than anything and her doing something that is never done in the small town, religion will bring lots of negative attention. Likewise, her dad believes the fact that her daughters soon to be husband's people are very bad and have nothing good in them. It is awful to say women face physical abuse and can have zero say in stopping the action being made. Simply from being a female. When Sripathi and his wife had gotten in a fight he had “Without thinking slapped her back, and she stopped crying abruptly” (36). Even Though both Sripathi and his wife are frustrated with each other, that is not a justification for his violence. In this situation the wife can not go and ask for help, As no one will hear her voice in what's wrong. No one will believe her either. Since females have no say, which ties into society telling men, they can do whatever they want. Since females clearly have no

In the Ramayana by Valmiki, Dasharatha is the King of Ayodhya and has three wives and four sons, Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna. Rama is the ideal and perfect son, and grows up with his brothers. He marries a woman name Sita. However, Bharata's mother is Kaikeyi, who resents Rama being crown king. She calls up a debt that Dasharatha owes her and asks for Rama to be exiled for fourteen years and her son Bharata be made crown prince instead. The devastated Dasharatha has no choice and Rama prepares to leave for exile. Sita and Lakshmana will not leave his side and follow him into the forest. While in the forest, Surpanakha becomes in love with Rama and is wounded by Lakshmana while trying to kill Sita. She

The Vindication of Sita is considered the culmination of the epic Ramayana, and had attracted numerous artists to choose it as the subject of their artistic creations. It is always illuminating to examine the differences of the paintings with the same subject matter. The Vindication of Sita from Singh’s Ramayana and the one that illustrates the Persian translation of the Ramayana show varied themes, iconography, composition, and narrative techniques that correspond to the nature of their patronages. The Mewar version is colorful and complex in layout with a full demonstration of the court’s political standing, financial power, and an attachment to what was truly Indian. The Sub-imperial Mughal version is much more modest and simple with an allusion to the Persians’ fascination of Indian classics yet a persistence of presenting it in an Islamic way.

Couple executed by their own parents... for daring to fall in love. This case shows that both society and families are our own undoing. Our families have such high expectations and we fear them out of respect. Like two young sweethearts Vidhal and Sonu secret love, led to the barbaric murdered by their own kin. I say that this is heartbreaking to hear that family's that are willing to end their children's lives instead of facing humiliation. But humiliation to what cost. "The girl’s parents decided that the best way out of the situation was to kill their daughter". They were embarrassed because they were of a lower caste, so they decided the only way to rid them of that embarrassment was to kill their daughter. Society has also set up the caste system and it shows that richer or better people are at the top while less people are on the

This led to the former primate king and Rama making a deal. If the monkey king helped Rama find Sita, then Rama would have to help the former monkey king get back to his throne. According to Pierce, Sita states that the male heroes and their acts of bravery only result in women becoming mothers with no sons and dead fathers, becoming prisoners on earth with no enjoyment in life.(88). While this usually is a true statement, this feels more of her being bored rather than her making this statement to try and stop the conflict of war from happening.

You all must be aware of the epic tale of Ramayana that begins as Lord Rama was exiled to a forest for 14 years with his dear wife, Sita and brother Laxman. To get to the main point straight away, Sita, the epitome of grace and beauty was abducted by the main antagonist of the Ramayana written by Valmiki- Raavan. My mention on Valmiki as the writer is on purpose because it was according to him that Raavan was termed as the villain but in reality,

The epic story of Rama and Sita, as portrayed by Valmiki’s Ramayana and the modern day film Sita sings the Blues are two different versions of the same story which contain several contrasts as well as similarities. The Ramayana is the ancient version which was written by a sage named Valmiki in 550 B.C.E, featuring a love story between an ideal prince and an ideal woman. It outlines the adventures of Rama in his journey to find his abducted wife Sita. Rama is portrayed as an avatar, being the eighth incarnation of one of the Hindu gods Vishnu, while Sita is representing Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of light. The modern day version of the Ramayana is seen in Sita Sings the Blues, where the animator Nina Paley is relating her love story to that of Sita’s predicament. This paper will compare and contrast the epic story of Valmiki’s Ramayana and Sita Sings the Blues in the quest for power, honor, faithfulness and the conflict between good and evil.

Kaikeyi is King Dasharatha’s third wife and also Rama’s step mom (mom). She is also an evil queen that can easily be manipulated. Queen Kaikeyi allowed Manthara, her maid to manipulate her into exiling Rama from his kingdom. Manthara knew Queen Kaikeyi’s weakness and used it to mislead her from the path of dharma. The Queen allowed her anger to get the best of her; as a result, she becomes her servant’s pet. Therefore, the Queen’s lack of autonomy makes her dangerous because whenever she feels attacked she will react like a wounded dog. The narrator writes, “Manthara’s words had the desired effect, for Kaikeyi was jealous of Kausalya” (Amar Chitra Katha 16).

The Ramayana is an Indian epic which demonstrates what it means to be the perfect man or woman in Indian culture. Due to the story’s mass popularity, there have been many renditions created about it. One of those versions is Sita Sings the Blues, an animated film version of The Ramayana created by Nina Paley in 2008. Because of the significant time difference between The Ramayana and the modern Sita Sings the Blues, the values presented in the two works differ, as indicated in several ways. One particular event within the two interpretations that displays both similarities and differences is when Sita is captured by Ravana.

‘Sita Sings the Blues’ is an animation movie created by an American woman, Nina Paley. The three strands that make up the warp and woof of the narration are: the personal story of Nina Paley’s betrayal by her husband; heartfelt- blues, the sentimental songs of Annette Hanshaw; and the larger-than-life canvass of the epic Ramayana. The movie, prima facie, is the story of the Director’s failed marriage as is evident from the official tagline of the movie ‘the greatest break up story ever told’. But the overarching depiction of Sita’s plight in the Ramayana, parallel to her own, assumes great significance. The portrayal of the travails and tribulations of Sita in the movie instead of the usual glorification of Rama, lends this movie

In Sita Sings the Blues, Paley has an alternate, customized picture of Sita. All through the motion picture we see that Sita is crying, and is assuming the part of the casualty instead of being solid and following the Dharma of Indian culture. Paley conflicts with the conventional understanding and overlooks the possibility of Dharma in general and social perspective. The account of Rama and Sita in Ramayana goes ahead and Rama who was viewed as the perfect child and spouse, abandons Sita after she was captured, trusting that she was touched by another man making her debased and not deserving of him. She is surrendered by her significant other to live in a timberland while she was pregnant with Rama 's twin young men. Regardless she remains faithful to him and brings forth two young men and shows them to love their dad and regard him like a God.
