Sita Sings the Blues “A woman like me.” Cat goes crazy to get fed on ladies head. The two people go to make love and cat sits quietly. Man is working and gets a job offer in India. There are three story tellers who are trying to figure out the story of Sita together. They agree to disagree on a few detales but mainly are on the same page on how things occurred. “I cannot live without you”. They use American songs to describe the love scene. The white man leaves for India to do his new job. Sita is Ramas wife. The lotis flower is used to describe how beautiful she is. Sita asks Rama to capture a golden deer for her. He goes out to capture it. Sita is madly in love with Rama. During the singing the characters are depicted in an American sence of beauty. For instance sita has big boobs, small waist and a Betty Boop shaped head. Rama has a buff cut body with a handsom face and broad square chin with a pearly white smile. Don’t challenge these stories. The three storytellers continue to share different sequences of the story in a comical manner. Rama asks his servant to go find Sita. Back in San Francisco the wife wonders when her significant other will be back. He tells her to go with him to India. She goes to India to be with him. While she is there she gets a job offer in New York. She goes to New York and while she is there she receives an e mail from her significant other: “don’t come back”. Her heart is broken. Rama must now get rid of Sita because he cannot rule with the people doubting him. The white woman cries herself to sleep. Sita becomes pregnant. The white lady begs to get him back. While the three narrators discuss this tale you begin to see that there is a different perception of the story between men and women. Sita proves her purity by going back to the pit of mother earth. This story to me shows the unconditional love of a woman. Many times women fall in love with men who do not treat them well. In the end it is the man who is missing out on a wonderful woman. The story shows how mans ego gets in the way of his love and he makes irrational decisions. Power comes first and love comes second in this story. As for the American couple, it is a similar love story. Work drives him away from the woman that loves him and she suffers without him. In the end it seems the women stand strong and do not let these men hold them down any longer. Q1: How many versions of this story are there? Q2: Do woman and men view this story differently? |
