Surdas' work in the Indian folk literature and oral traditions.

Surdas, a prominent figure in Indian literature, made significant contributions to folk literature and oral traditions, particularly through his devotional poetry dedicated to Lord Krishna.

Surdas was born and bred in (1478-1583) he was renowned Indian poet, saint, and musician who made significant contributions to the country's rich folk literature and oral traditions. His works are still widely popular and revered in India, particularly in the northern regions.

Bhakti Poetry:

Surdas was a leading proponent of the Bhakti movement, which emphasized a personal, loving devotion to a deity, often transcending ritualistic practices. His poetry predominantly focused on Lord Krishna, particularly celebrating the divine playfulness and childhood exploits of Krishna in Vrindavan.

Vernacular Language: While Surdas employed Braj Bhasha, a language rooted in the Krishna-centric folk traditions of the region, his poetry is accessible to a wider audience than many classical works. This linguistic choice aligns him with the spirit of folk literature which often uses vernacular languages to reach the masses.

Folk Language: Surdas composed his works in Braj Bhasha, a folk language spoken in the regions of Braj, which includes parts of modern-day Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. This helped to popularize the language and make his poetry more relatable to the common people.

Songs and Hymns:

Surdas' poetry includes a vast collection of devotional songs (bhajans) and hymns. These works, celebrated for their emotional depth and simplicity, often depict the intimate relationship between Krishna and his devotees, illustrating themes of love, devotion, and surrender.

Devotional Ecstasy: Surdas' poetry, like many folk songs and ballads, is characterized by a profound sense of devotional ecstasy. This emotional intensity and direct address to the divine are hallmarks of folk traditions.

In conclusion, while Surdas is undoubtedly a towering figure in classical Indian literature, his work also serves as a bridge between the elite and the masses. His poetry's deep roots in folk traditions have contributed to his enduring popularity and influence as well Surdas’ contributions to Indian folk literature and oral traditions are profound, as his devotional poetry bridged the gap between elite and popular culture, resonating deeply with people across different strata of society.

If it’s here in our hearts that Hari dwells, how can he remain so utterly unconcerned at what we're having to endure? Once there was a time he kept fire from burning trees, but now, how our bodies blaze: why hasn't Nanda's Joy burst from our breasts and cooled us with one of his smiles? Without a second's slackening, unceasingly, our eyes rain a torrent worthy of Indra and our bodies shiver in a fearsome chill. Why doesn't his hand hold the mountain aloft again? Hands! It takes a mirror to see they've got bangles? We're dead from the vexation of it all. How can we live, says Surij, listening to all this yoga? We're women adrift in love's longing.

A few times I've expressed how I feel like the later parts of the series really screw over Orrin and treat his character poorly. And I've seen some other people say similar things. But for a long while know, I've been conflicted about how exactly the books disservices him. Because, since writing this character analysis of him, I found that I don't disagree with the actual things he says and does. Like I mentioned there, I think the way his composure crumbles and how he becomes more aggressive and unreasonable makes a lot of sense in the context of what he's going through. He's lost everyone and he turns to drinking as anger and fear eat away at him. I think it works as a character arc, albeit a very sad one. And yet, I still get the feeling of the books doing wrong by Orrin and I've been trying to wrap my mind around why.

I was rereading the scene where Orrin wants to send an envoy to Uru'baen and Roran demands that he doesn't. Initially, I felt like this was one of the few moments where it does feel out of character for him, simply for the story to paint him in an exaggeratedly bad light. But I tried to reason out in what way it maybe could be in character (because I live for that). And it clicked into place. Orrin says it right there! "'But they can see us,' protested Orrin. 'We're camped right outside their walls. It would be... rude not to send an envoy to state our position. You are both commoners; I would not expect you to understand. Royalty demands certain courtesies, even if we are at war.'"

The issue at hand here is that Roran is arguing that sending an envoy to Galbatorix might provoke him to attack them. What Orrin is saying is that, as opposed to Roran and Jormundur, he knows what a king would expect to deal with when under attack, which includes envoys. If it would be perceived as rude and disrespectful to not send one, that insult could just as well be provoke Galbatorix into attacking. It makes perfect sense that, if Orrin sees this as a courtesy a king would feel entitled to, he believes it would be dangerous to risk slighting Galbatorix by failing to do it. Roran tells him, "'I won't let you endanger the rest of us just to satisfy your royal... pride.'" But it seems infinitely more likely that Orrin is attempting to satisfy Galbatorix's royal pride. I do think that not sending an envoy is a bit more sensible because, as Roran says, Galbatorix was born a commoner and likely has his own expectations (though what he goes on to say has flaws), but Orrin is still raising a very fair point by arguing that they should send one. And honestly, given what we see of Galbatorix, I don't think there was any danger of an envoy provoking him either.

But the more important thing about that realization that struck me is that I read that section at least 6 times before it occurred to me. I read it over and over while thinking "Orrin's argument doesn't make any sense, I don't know why he's saying this" before realizing it actually makes perfect sense. And it's because I believe that the true way that the series disservices Orrin's character is through the bias of the other characters and their narrations. This exchange is written in Roran's POV and it's riddled with his derision towards Orrin, his insistence that he's wrong, that he'll get them killed, and his overall very low opinion of him which colors how he sees all of Orrin's acts. And Jormundur shares his distaste and expresses his own.

Out of curiosity, I cut everything but the dialogue (sans 2 irrelevant lines) to see how it would read. It's very different; it shows how Orrin is reasonable at the start and how unwarranted Roran's combative and brazenly insulting response is. It really changes this scene from "Roran heroically saving everyone from the fallout of Orrin's stupid, careless choice," and reveals that it's just an argument- unhelpful and devolving where they both end up making inappropriate mistakes, one after the other.

Of course, there are real issues with Orrin's actions, in this case namely that his very wound up fear and frustration make him intensely volatile, enough that he tries to attack Roran here. That is egregious. But then that's compounded upon by all these other "flaws" perceived by the other characters in such an exaggerated way to the point of being fabricated. Roran sees him as dangerously stupid and vainglorious for wanting to send an envoy, despite putting absolutely no effort into learning his reason. It's just real rich that Roran then thinks, "Orrin was like a yearling mule: stubborn, overconfident, and all too willing to kick you in the gut if you gave him the opportunity." Lmao! Bitch look in the mirror, that's literally you!!!

This kind of depiction epitomizes Orrin's presence through the entire series. Every single POV characters has reason to be against him, starting with Nasuada. As a result of both of their respective positions, she sees him as a potential threat and obstacle to her goals. Through his connection to her, Eragon sees him the same way and Saphira follows suit. And Roran adopts the opinion of his cousin and his commander. So all of the POV characters are adverse to Orrin, but also, so is every single background character.

There is no one to offer or even contemplate a differing opinion in the face of the main characters' unilateral distaste. Once, literally once do we see Orrin talking to another Surdan. He gets a single line in the scene where Nasuada is appointed leader of their combined forces. Never again. We never see him interact with anyone not predisposed against him. None of his advisors, his soldiers, his friends. Every moment of Orrin's life involving the people who'd have a basis to get along with, or even like him go unseen by the entire story. And on the other side, that also means we never get to see how Orrin would interact with anyone without an incentive to work against him. So the narrative's bias against Orrin goes completely uninterrupted and unchallenged. It shows itself virtually every time he's present.

That is why the series feels so unfair towards Orrin, because in order to understand his actual intentions, it demands that the reader consider a perspective that the story refuses to ever provide. It requires ignoring perspectives that narrate everything and then giving a great deal of focus to Orrin's actions in isolation. It sets him up to be misunderstood and disliked because the easiest way to read his story is to follow along with the misunderstanding and dislike all the other characters express. The books actively obscure the true nature of Orrin's character.
