Question

Write the critical summary of the poem "sita".

Answer 1

Answer:

Dutt’s poem “Sita” presents the characters of “Three happy children” at the beginning of the poem. They are listening to the story of Sita’s second exile to the hermitage of Valmiki from their mother. While listening to the tale, they become so engrossed in it that they can even visualize the surroundings of the character.

According to the speaker (Dutt), the “poet-anchorite” is amidst a dense forest where the sunlight sparsely enters. In the center, there is a clear spot where she is sitting. Around her, there are tall trees and a lucid lake where white swans glide. In the following lines, the poet goes on to depict the landscape and at the end of her description, she tells readers about the unhappy fate of Sita.

Listening to her painful story, the children also start crying. Dutt says the impact of the story is going to stay with them until the next morning. In the end, she asks about when those children sat around their mother to listen to the story. In reply, she clarifies that those children are none other than Dutt herself and her siblings Aru and Abju.

Answer 2

The poem "Sîta" is from Dutt's Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan (1882).

It tells the story of "Three happy children in a darkened room" being told the legend of Sîta by their mother. The mother tells the children all about the scene of Sîta's abandonment, ranging from the animals in the woods to the presence of the "poet-anchorite" Valmiki, who wrote the Ramayana. The children sympathize with the plight of Sîta, but in the middle of the story, the mother is "hushed at last" by an unknown figure, likely her husband. The poem ends with a description of the children, rapt with attention at their mother's story, and the last two lines consist of the speaker's nostalgia for the days when she—likely one of the children herself—would gather around her mother and listen intently to stories.
