Are you looking for a comprehensive guide to the poem ‘Sita’ by Toru Dutt? If yes, then you have come to the right place. In this video, I will cover everything you need to know about this beautiful poem, from the life sketch of the poet, to the line by line explanation of the text, to the analysis of the poem, its theme, literary devices, summary and previous year questions.
Toru Dutt was one of the first Indian poets to write in English and French. She was influenced by the British Romantics and had a deep love for Indian myths and legends. Her poem ‘Sita’ is a part of her posthumous collection ‘Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan’, which showcases her rich cultural heritage and her sensitivity to women’s sufferings.
‘Sita’ is based on the story of Sita, the female protagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana, who was exiled by her husband Rama twice. The poem depicts the reaction of three children who listen to their mother narrating this tale. They are so moved by Sita’s plight that they cry along with her. The poem also reveals the poet’s nostalgia for her own childhood and her longing for her mother and siblings who died young.

[@user-qe6gw3wd8x]

Is there any imagery in the poem ?

[@theenglishliterature]

Imagery is present throughout the poem, vividly describing the forest scene, the actions of the characters, and their emotions. One example of imagery in the provided lines is:
"A dense, dense forest, where no sunbeam pries,"
This line helps us to imagine a thick, dark forest where sunlight can't shine through easily.
