31 Aug Sita Sings the blues
With reference to Sita Sings the Blues, a work of your choice from the Met Exhibition, and the original Ramayana, discuss the character of Sita. Who is she? What are her heroic qualities? How has she been adapted/interpreted by the film and your choice of artwork? By this, I mean, what are the new, different, or emphasized characteristics of Sita in the film and painting.
A good answer will be 250-350 well-considered, well-written words.
