Sheeta is Miyazaki princess who defies the common story tropes of what a princess normally is, especially in the classic Disney sense of the word. In the second of our three-episode Castle in the Sky mini-series, we unravel how this film’s Sheeta is partly based on Sita, the Hindu Goddess featured in the epic Ramayana, and we also take a look at how Miyazaki portrays all the different groups of men in this film, and how this makes Muska a much more complex villain than he is often said to be.
