Snowflakes stay away

I have a doubt about ancient Hindu scriptures. I think we should look at Ramayana as a novel, rather than a sacred book. So, based on this novel, I am trying to understand why people call Seeta as a Goddess. From what I understand, Seeta is an incredibly beautiful woman, who was loyal to her husband even in the face of adversity. Is that all it takes to be a Goddess, to sit around and look pretty, and be loyal to your husband? What did Seeta do that other princess haven't done? Is it because she had to separate from her husband for 13 or so years? Or is it because she left to the forest with her husband? Why is she a Goddess? I am trying to understand the character arc of Seeta, so don't bring any butthurt comments about religion.

Yes, as a novel it's a very well written book based on already existing locations.

So, why are all the other women who are pretty and are loyal to their husbands not worshipped as Goddesses? Is it because they were not abducted? Is it because they didn't face any adversaries?

Athmaabhimanam unte mantalo dookamannappudu raamudiki finger chupinchalsindi, lava kusalu puttedaka athmaabhimanam gurturaleda? Ramayanam movie la teeste Seeta di not a very strong character IMO. Raamudu edi chepte adi chestundi, doesn't have an opinion of her own.

She also knows how to play ball. I wonder if she can cook, I don't think it is mentioned in Ramayanam anywhere.

I think the point is to respect women as Goddesses, even if they do nothing in their life. That's what she said.
