Hey Rachel! You made some amazing points in this discussion! I liked how you discussed the argument between Vali and Rama over the rules of dharma. Similarly, when Rama accuses Sita of being unfaithful and publicly shames her, Sita responds by declaring that he is saying "the kind of things a low, common man would say to his woman" (491). This interaction appears to me to be questioning the validity of Rama's actions in pursuit of fulfilling his dharma. Sita is claiming that Rama is not acting as a model for dharma but is acting stupidly as a common man would. Sita's perspective is then overlooked showing that this narrative benefits men.
