Hanuman- I really
like the character Hanuman. When we first meet him he is hiding his true self,
but he immediately trusts Rama. Right away Hanuman sees how important and
special Rama is. When he was younger Hanuman’s father made him dedicate his
life to serving Vinshu, and Rama is the incarnate of Vinshu. Pg. 91 and 94
Vali and Sugreeva-
An interesting scene to me was when Vali finally defeats Mayavi and tries to
leave the cave. I thought this was interesting because the cave was blocked and
Vali immediately believed that it was Sugreeva’s fault. Vali believed that
Sugreeva was trying to take over his position as king. Pg. 93
Vail is defeated-
I thought this was interesting because Vail was known for his superior strength
and, “he felt admiration for the unknown assailant.” Pg. 100
Vail and Rama have a heart to heart about why it was right
for Rama to just kill Vail. In the end Vail accepts it and understands why Rama
did it. Pg. 104
Rama sends Lakshmana
to Sugreeva- Rama is very upset that Sugreeva did not send his army right
after the rainy season, so he sends Lakshmana to Sugreeva. Rama is so upset at
the beginning that he is very harsh when he says he will destroy all the
monkeys if Sugreeva does not come to help. After he is done speaking his tells
Lakshmana to be patient and nice to them. Pg. 110

Lakshmana is homesick-
It is interesting to see this young man who gave up his whole life to be with
Rama affected by homesickness. When he sees Tara and the other women he is
consumed by these feelings of homesickness and misses his mother dearly. Pg.
112
