Kalidasa

I love reading this play. Kalidasa and the Ring of Recollection is about a romance between the king and the daughter of a sage. The play is interesting in many ways. The play keeps us interested in their romance. Out of the seven scenes, their exchange is very brief. Their brief interaction with each other is like a hook for me to keep on reading the play. This is similar to a person falling in love with someone, but he/she can not see each other daily. They will reminisce each other and wanting to see more and more. It keeps me wondering when will they see each other again or when will they express their love for each other. I see that someone who is harder to go after is worth it to wait. Therefore, the king is waiting for the right person to wed to because Sakuntala is harder to go after.
Another interesting part about the play is the plot. The king did not marry Sakuntala in public. Their marriage is a secret affair. There is no witness between them and so Sakuntala does not have any evidence that she is married to the king. This seems to be a major problem when the king loses his memory. The king does not recollect being married to her. Besides that the king loses his memory, he does not know that Sakuntala bears him a child. I dislike this part the most in the play. Sakuntala receives all the disadvantage on her side.
