Reading Notes: Ramayana Notes Part D

     The plot thickens in the last of the reading as is begins with the creation of Rama's bridge. Rama was conflicted with the idea of crossing the ocean to get to Lanka. He witnessed Hanuman leap the gap by using his power, which he lacked. His way to solving his situation is by dealing with the Gods and performing sacrifices to get the God of Ocean on his side. 

    However, attempt to do this was a failure, as the God had no interest in him. He grew with rage and took out his rage by blindly firing arrows and weapons into the water. Hanuman continues to be a bold character in the plot as he hops into battle with Rama and Ravana. Hanuman was a very clever character as he was able to outsmart any situation with the help of his powers. One part of the plot that interested me was when he was able to manipulate the look of Sita so she can be hidden from the public and no one would know.

    Rama is crowned king, and is instantly dealt with a tough choice to make. Sita was looked down by the people and Rama was forced to banish his own wife. Sita left the kingdom and gave birth to two sons, Lava and Kusha. Rama eventually seeks out his wife and son through the help of the Gods and sacrifice. Rama finally found his family and Sita and Rama confess their love to each other. 

    There was many characters seeking drama and revenge. The ending of this story was tragic as the death of Ravana, which was the ultimate ending needed for the story. The story ended with a peaceful trip to heaven, as Laksh and Rama wanted to leave the responsibilities of Earth.
