Reading Notes: Sita Sings the Blues: Notes B

So rama makes sita prove herself with the fire right after the battle and then they go back to the castle where Rama is. She told him she was pregnant and then after the incident with the dhobi he realized that these people do not respect him. He understood that Sita must go in order for him to be respected by his people. So he kicks her out and she is exiled into the forest. She gives birth over there and her sons sing praise of rama. Even after everything that happened to her she still loves rama and believes in him unconditionally. On one part he wants to do justice with everyone but he does injustice with his own wife. He always doubted her but not once did he prove himself to her nor did she ever ask him.
