    Symbolic/Compositional analysis and Rhetorical analysis: Relative

    proportion and the crown conveys Ramas power; but frontal point of
    view and eye contact encourages us to identify with Sita

    Symbolic/compositional analysis and narrative analysis: relative proportion shows the power of
    both patriarchal figures; Ramas transactive pointing action shows against whom that power will
    be directed

    Symbolic/Compositional analysis and Rhetorical analysis: Relative proportion


    and the crown conveys Ramas power; but frontal point of view and eye contact
    encourages us to identify with Sita

    Symbolic/compositional analysis: Relative proportion of


    Sitas shadow vs. the mens shadows again shows how
    little power she has within this patriarchal household

    Narrative analysis: Attempt at transactive action,


    namely establishing eye-contact and bodily contact with
    Rama

    Narrative analysis: Ramas action appears on the surface to be non-transactive, but given that it
    cuts off the tactile and eye contact she tried to establish, its emotionally transactivehe
    freezes her out

    Symbolic/compositional analysis: the chromatic shift to


    what youre calling Sitas pale-blue/grey period conveys
    Ramas ability to control the tone of their interactions
