Hey Isabel! I love the points that you made in this discussion. I like how you brought up the question of how one's wealth affects their ability to fulfill dharma. While everyone has their own unique dharma, it appears as though the dharma of wealthy men is held in higher regard than that of the poor. I also agree that Sita is presented as a damsel in distress throughout the entire story. It was interesting to me that not only was her worth to Rama bound up in her faithfulness to him, but her self-worth was also found in her faithfulness. She even claims that she would rather die than be seen as unfaithful to Rama (491).
