The Ramayana

After I found out more about The Ramayana I began to enjoy the story more because I understood what was happening a little bit better. I enjoyed how the translation made it so easy to flow through the story, and how it made it much more natural to read, even if I didn’t know entirely what was happening the whole time. Cantos 47-49 of Book 3 were particularly interesting and I enjoyed reading Sita’s defense of Ram. I think that, even if she played the subservient wife to Ram, that she is still a very strong female character and that it is admirable how she resisted Ravan during the time of her capture.
