Sita Sings The Blues guiding questions:

Address the manner Nina Paley appropriates the ancient epic of the Ramayana to her particular cultural context. Can you detect a feminist appropriation of the story? Is there an overt critique of a patriarchal reading of the Ramayana? Describe this with examples.

What is the role of the three chatty narrators (puppets) in relation to the retelling of the story? Does their presence act as a force of destabilization or subversion of the text?

How does the Ramayana, at least in Paley’s retelling of it, conceive of the meaning of dharma (duty)?

What is the reason for the variety of genres utilized by Paley to retell the story?

How can we make sense of the story told by Ramayana through the lens provided by the four aims of man (purushartha)?
