The Ramayana

The Ramayana is a very great literary work. It was both interesting/entertaining and provided readers with an insight into the great culture of India. The Ramayana is basically about the life of Rama, how his throne was taken from him by his brother and how his wife (Sita) was also abducted from him by the Raven. He is the central hero in the story and exhibits the qualities of a true leader. Sita also exihibits the qualities of an ideal wife because she still loved her husband and would not deny him even with all the good things that were promised to her by the Raven. The Raven is the antogonist in this story and is seen as the opposite of Rama. Lastly The Ramayana and The Iliad were great stories to read but i think it would be a bit hard to find significant differences/similarities between both stories.
