Question

Do you think the poem is aptly titled 'Sita'? Provide reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

Sita is a poem written by Toru Dutt.

Explanation:

In the poem, the poet narrates the story of Sita from Indian mythology. The narration is set as a mother telling the story of Sita to her three children as a bedtime story. The children are moved by the sorrows of Sita when she was separated from Lord Ram. They weep after listening to our troubles. The mother hugs her children after they fall asleep.

The title is apt as it narrates the pain and grief of Sita. The children dream of Sita in their sleep.
