Reading Diary B: Public Domain Ramayana

I was kind of thrown off by the story "Kumbhakarna". I felt as if I was reading the stories of Ramayana, and I get to this piece where Ravana wakes up his brother and all of the sudden in a paragraph later, Rama has killed him. I guess I was looking for more of a storyline in this piece rather than a sudden death. Perhaps that can be something I write about in my storytelling assignment?

I also thought the story "Sita Departs" was kinda of strange also. After Sita had been brought back to Rama after Ravana's death, he doubted her purity while in the possession of Ravana. She was willing to walk through large flames in order to prove herself to him. After that, the returned to their home and Rama was crowned the King. However, people of the city doubted her purity that she had already been tested for. Rama gave in to the wishes of the people and exiled Sita even though he spent so much time trying to get her back. Finally, after learning she was the mother of his children, Rama brings Sita back to tell the citizens of the city about her purity to Rama. After doing so, she was embraced by the Earth and Rama once again was without his love.
