Rashomon Chart and Reflection

The Bandit  - Made his                            The Woodcutter - Told the true
story sound heroic and brave.                   story of how the woman made the
                                                                 samurai and bandit fight.


                                           Rashomon



The Woman - Said that                            The Samurai - Said that the bandit

was cut loose then woke to find               his wife left.
the samurai dead.


I believe the Woodcutter's story was the truest, because it's from a spectator's perspective and he has nothing to confess to.  However since he stole the dagger it might be a lie.  I think it shows how fearful people are to giving the right story and how it could affect them.
