1. Analysis of the scene where Rama accuses Sita, sample 1:
The Ramayana is a famous Indian epic, dating back to around the 3rd century BC. The work has been continuously supplemented by many generations of monks and poets, refined in content and art, and the sage Valmiki is the one who completed it finally.
The excerpt where Rama accuses Sita recounts the event of Prince Rama, after defeating the demon king Ravana, regaining his beloved wife Sita. When the couple reunites, Sita is overjoyed. However, Prince Rama suspects that his wife has not maintained her honor intact during the time she was kidnapped by Ravana, so he declares to abandon her. Unable to clear her name, Sita steps into the fire, asking the fire god Agni to testify to her purity. Through the content of the excerpt, the authors expressed their views on the Ideal King (Rama) and the Ideal Woman (Sita) of ancient Indian civilization.
Rama can be seen as a character who embodies all the qualities of a heroic king as desired by the people of that era. His noble character is clearly demonstrated in every situation, especially in the situation in this excerpt.
According to the usual psychological laws, Rama should have been extremely happy and joyful to meet his wife again after a long separation. However, Rama was not like that. He said to Sita: O noble lady, I have brought you here after defeating the enemy. I have done everything within my power. I have avenged the insult to me, and my anger has subsided. Today, everyone has witnessed my skill. I have fulfilled my promise, and now I have no more conflicts within myself. You were kidnapped by the demon Ravana in my absence, which was unfortunate for you, but I have rescued you from that fate. Anyone who is insulted by the enemy and does not retaliate with their skill is a common person...
Analyzing the scene where Rama accuses Sita to see the beauty of the characters in challenging situations
Clearly, the hero's honor is more important to him than his own life. Rama fought and defeated the demon king Ravana primarily for the honor of his illustrious lineage. Being straightforward and honest, he did not hide his thoughts about his wife whom he had just regained from the demon king:... Be certain of this: it is not for you that I have defeated the enemy with the help of my friends. I did it for my honor, to erase the shame, to protect the reputation and honor of my illustrious lineage. I did it to prove that I do not belong to an ordinary family. Now I must doubt your integrity, for you stayed for a long time in the house of a stranger. Now that you are in front of me, I cannot bear to look at you, it is like light to someone with sore eyes. So I tell you, you can go wherever you want, I no longer want you. How could someone born into a noble family take a wife who has lived in another's house, simply because that person was an object of desire? You were harassed while in Ravana's clutches, his lustful eyes roamed all over you, so how can I take you back when I think of the noble family that gave birth to me?
The meeting between Rama and Sita was not just between the two of them, but in front of a crowd of brothers, friends, and people. Therefore, Rama could not just behave as a husband, but also as a hero who had just triumphed over the enemy in a glorious manner, and even more so as a king. Therefore, we cannot blame Rama for being too cold and cruel, because the individual of the class, the individual of society, forced him to behave in such a way towards the wife whom he respectfully called a noble lady.
Prince Rama's thoughts epitomize the ethical views of the Indian nobility of that time. However, they also have elements that are familiar to most men in feudal society with strict constraints. For Rama, his own honor, family, and lineage were the most important, so even though he loved his virtuous and beautiful wife, he still had to refuse her because he could not overcome public opinion.
Prince Rama's words shattered Sita's heart; She was so pained that she could hardly breathe, like a vine crushed by an elephant's foot. Hearing the unprecedented accusations, in front of everyone, Sita felt ashamed for her entire existence. She wanted to bury her physical appearance. Every word of Rama pierced her heart like an arrow. Her tears flowed like a river. Using the edge of her garment to wipe away her tears, then with a choked voice, sobbing, she said: Why did you use such harsh and indescribable words towards me, like a despicable person cursing a lowly woman? I am not who you think I am! I can swear on my honor, believe in my dignity. Judging from the behavior of vile women, you have suspected all women, but that is not the case. If you had a little understanding of me, please abandon your unfounded suspicions...
In the midst of pain and humiliation from suspicion and abandonment, the beautiful Sita still asserted her dignity. Like Prince Rama, she also considered honor to be the most precious. She did not hesitate to compare him to lowly people because she felt that he should not baselessly doubt her in such a way - a person of noble lineage like her, for she was the daughter of the Earth Goddess Prithivi who was worshipped. She reproached Rama: Because you cannot judge correctly, you have not understood my essence. You have not thought about why you married me when you were young. My love, my loyalty now seem completely useless.
In despair before Rama's unyielding attitude, Sita's only remaining option was to ask the Fire God Agni to prove her innocence: If I have always been devoted to Rama, please find a way to protect me, O God. Rama has treated a chaste woman as a liar, but if I am pure, may the Fire God protect me. With these words, she courageously walked into the blazing flames of the sacrificial fire.
The respect, admiration, and sorrow of everyone witnessing that scene were described very touchingly: Everyone, old and young, felt heartbroken watching Sita standing in the flames. In front of everyone, that perfect woman sacrificed herself to the fire. The saints, the gods, watched Sita step into the fire, no different from a sacrificial offering in a ritual.
Seeing her like that, like an angel banished from heaven by a curse, the women cried out in tragic lamentation. Both the Rakshasas and the Vanaras wailed loudly at that sight.
Thus, the exemplary virtue and remarkable courage of Sita shook both the divine, human, and demonic realms. All shed tears for her injustice. In the end, just as Sita prayed, the Fire God Agni cleared her name and protected her completely.
The excerpt of Rama accusing Sita is like a short, intensely dramatic play. The two main characters, Rama and Sita, are both placed in severe trials, demanding resolute choices, revealing their profound personalities and nature. Prince Rama used all his strength and talent to fight the demon king Ravana to reclaim his beloved wife, but he also dared to sacrifice love for honor, the duty of a hero, a model king. The beautiful, pure Sita is also the image of an ideal woman. She courageously stepped into the fire to prove her deep love and unwavering loyalty to Prince Rama.
Chapter 79 depicts the noble character of the Kshatriya class (royalty, nobility, warriors) and the virtue of loyalty and elegance of a noble woman.
Rama felt jealous when Sita humbly stood before him. He sarcastically addressed his wife, 'O noble lady.' The husband-wife relationship almost ceased to exist. The conflict has ended, according to Rama, the duty and talent have been fulfilled: 'I have freed her from the false accusation,' meaning she was abducted by Ravana, not following him, 'my anger has subsided, and my revenge has been taken against the one who insulted me.' Rama lived by a moral principle of his Kshatriya class: 'Anyone who is insulted by the enemy and does not use their talent to revenge is mediocre.' Rama also praised Hanuman and Vibhishana, his two talented and noble comrades, with the best words.
Before Sita's beauty, 'lotus face,' 'curly wave hair,' and her tears, Rama's heart 'hurt like a cut,' meaning he was still deeply in love with Sita. But honor is above all, it is everything, because the hero 'fears scandal.' Ending the war is for dignity, to 'wipe away the stain of shame for fear of the reputation and honor of their illustrious lineage.
Essay analyzing the accusation scene in Rama's concise accusation
Rama could not 'take her back,' 'no longer wanted her' because she had stayed at a stranger's house, because Ravana with 'guilty eyes... greedily looked over her body,' meaning she had been unfaithful to him, so Rama had to think of the 'noble family' that gave birth to him.
In conclusion, Rama still loved the beautiful Sita but for the honor, dignity of the hero, of the noble lineage, he had to accuse Sita, end the marital relationship with her: 'So I tell you, you can go wherever you want, I no longer want you.' Rama felt deeply offended; when he saw Sita, he 'could not bear it,' 'it was like light to sore eyes.' Rama's jealousy and accusation were not out of blindness but rather out of jealousy and accusation for dignity, honor, a trait of the noble and good character of the Kshatriya class in ancient Indian society.
Sita is depicted in the depth of the tragedy of love and honor. She suffered from injustice, from insult. She 'suffered and gasped for breath.' She was ashamed of her fate,' she wanted to die immediately 'wanting to bury her entire appearance.' She was extremely painful before Rama's accusations, she felt as if a thousand arrows 'pierced her heart.' She cried, 'her tears flowed like a stream.'
Sita was dignified and calmly rejected all of Rama's accusations. She affirmed: 'My heart is here, belonging to you.' He has not understood me through love and my soul. He is proud of his noble lineage, then what does he lack: 'the earth is my mother.' If Rama sarcastically called Sita 'noble lady,' then Sita also replied dignifiedly: 'O great king' and blamed 'why did you marry me when you were young?'.
Sita jumping into the blazing fire is a scene of great tragedy. Who has not been moved by the dance of 'Sita'? Rama was 'horrified like death!' The gods proudly watched Sita jump into the fire 'like an offering in a ritual.' Many women 'cried bitterly.' Even demon-like creatures like Vanara, Paksaxa also 'cried loudly.' The image of Sita was dignified and confident. She 'circled around' Rama as if to bid farewell. She worshipped the noble and sacred deities. She cursed with the deity Agni: affirming her innocence, a chaste woman being considered a liar; proud of her pure and faithful heart in love; pleading with the deity 'to protect me,' 'to guard me.' Let us hear Sita's prayer: 'If I have always been faithful to Rama, then please find a way to protect me. Rama has considered a chaste woman like a liar; but if I am innocent, please protect me.'
Reading the epic Ramayana, we feel the blazing fire shining like the sun, Sita shining beautifully like dancing with the fire, the fire god Agni witnessing and saving her. Rama extends his arms to receive Sita, tears blending with joy, both regretful and proud.
