    LITERARY ANALYSIS OF BIDASARI (AN EPIC FROM MINDANAO)

    "As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion," said
    Antisthenes. In the story of Bidasari of Mindanao, I think that this story is parallel to the said quote.
    Although this is for kids, it has a lot of essential life lessons for readers of all ages. The world-building for
    this epic hooks the readers into staying engaged, and the third-person narration adds to the detailed
    storytelling ability of the book. Several themes that are essential to a child's development are tackled in
    this epic. Themes like love, family, and life lessons to tell apart absolute good and evil form a significant
    part of this epic's wide range of themes.

    This story taught us that even though people leave us, there will be someone who will
    be with us and be there for us. It is shown at the beginning of the story; there's a monstrous bird named
    Garuda in the kingdom of Kembayat who humans fear because the bird eats them. As the Garuda
    chased them, the sultan and sultana, bearing a child, ran in separate ways. The tremendous fear the
    sultana felt made her gave birth near the river, which she hid inside a boat and left it there. But just how
    the mother left the child, a merchant from another kingdom found a child and raised her.

    The story also taught us that we should be satisfied with our things. In the time where a
    sultan named Mongindra was married to Lila Sari for two years. Lilasari was anxious because what if the
    sultan fell in love with another beautiful woman? Even though the sultan assured her that she's the only
    one he loves yet, she's not satisfied with his answer, so she ordered her subjects to scout someone
    who's more beautiful than her, and that's when she meets Bidasari. Because of the anxiety and jealousy,
    Bidasari was imprisoned by Lilasari. Little did Lilasari know that all the things she had done had
    consequences, which would lead her to her downfall and greatest nightmare; her husband leaving her.

    Lastly, the story teaches us that happy endings exist, and if you're not pleased with the
    end, it's not the end yet. This was proved by Bidasari telling Lilasari about the fish that keeps her alive. In
    the daytime, she gets the fish out of the water, Bidasari will be asleep, and at night time, when Lilasari
    will bring the fish back to the water, Bidasari will be awake. Since Bidasari's illegitimate mother can't
    stand seeing her like that, she makes a castle in the middle of the woods for her. Bidasari thought that
    her life would be like this forever, not until Lilasari's husband's sultan finds the castle and meets her.
    Bidasari told the sultan everything, and this gave Lilasari's greatest fear, her husband leaving her.
    Bidasari also reunited with her real family with the help of her illegitimate mother meeting her sister,
    who exactly looks like her.
