Reading Notes: Ramayana Part 4


  • I really want to explore the concept of dharma in my stories. I really like the idea of a cosmic order
  • Hanuman- was an interesting character! I liked that he was so strategic when visiting Ravana. Instead of fighting being paraded through the city he was analyzing the layout of the city to help Rama. 
  • It would be fun to do a story that featured Hanuman 
  • Vibheeshana to me is an unsung hero. Even though he is Ravana's brother he tries to help Sita and ultimately joins Rama's army 
  • I still find it interesting that when Rama finds Sita she still has on all her jewelry even though she dropped it along the way (Its not relevant, but super interesting) 
  • It was interesting that Hanuman lets Indrajit, Ravana's son, capture him and bring him to Ravana-I thought it was really strategic that he was willing to let the soldiers parade him through the streets, just so he could get an inside look into how the city was laid out
    • It would be fun to write a story that was like a guide to spying. It could be written from the POV of Hanuman 
  • It is ironic that Rama ends Ravana's life with a weapon from Brahma, who is the creator of all things
