CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PLOT IN MYTHOLOGY: SITA: Daughter of Earth

Abstract

Plot plays a very important role in a story. The contemporary mythological literatures have started trending with the renewed perspectives of characters in the story. In this paper, we will compare the selected contemporary mythological fiction with the original epic and trace the changes and similarity in the plot of both the literatures. Thus, we will compare the epic the Ramayana, written from a male character’s perspective with the selected fiction Sita: Daughter of Earth by Saraswati Nagpal, written from a female character’s perspective to find the diversions or convergence in the plot lines.
