Week 6 Reading Diary A



Another vulture tried to fight Ravana when he took Sita, but R. conceded and V. wouldn’t fight someone who surrendered
The monkeys and bears say they can jump 100 leagues, but they can’t get back; if they can jump that far one way, why not the other?
Hanuman didn’t ask to go to Lanka, but agreed to when he was pointed out
Mountains had wings. Those wings are now clouds
You can hold on to a shadow and it will have a similar effect as holding on to the person
Demons have a large range of appearances
A mantra is a thing that can be worn? I thought it was a chant thing
People still thought the earth was flat when this was written
Sita changed a lot in captivity, looked worn out and disappointed, was still beautiful

Hanuman is preparing to fight the Rakshasis—does he think he can win? Is he not turned away by the fact that they’re women? does he even consider them to be women?
Hanuman has a very “act now, think later” personality
Trijata’s dream is full of white except for Ravana, who wore red, then was dragged to the Land of Death
Sita says she will save the Rakshasis when Rama defeats Ravana
“Ravana had the patience and strength to protect all Creation from harm, but he did just the opposite and took the worlds for his possessions” pg 258
“Any kind of evil can be easily done in thoughtless anger”—Hanuman, thinking he’d burned Sita
Hanuman told Rama that Sita said things that she didn’t; things that were more insulting than what she did say
