Reading Notes: Vasantasena a dancer

This story is about an evil king named Palaka who is trying to attract a beautiful woman Vasantasena. She is not interested in the evil king. Rather, she is interested in a poor man with a kind spirit. The poor man comes to possess some of her jewels but he loses them. Later, she gets her jewels back and her freedom is gained by her slave. The woman is caught by the evil brother in law of the evil king. The rival of the evil king escapes and takes the place of the woman in a carriage. The poor man is forced to go to a trial for a crime he did not do. The main thing that stood out to me in this comic is the pursuit of a beautiful woman by the evil king, but the woman was actually interested in a poor but goodhearted man. I think it would be interesting to write a story in which a woman chooses a nice man of a lesser social status over a mean rich man. The moral of this story is that a good heart is worth more than social status or money.
