This section definitely did not go as I had thought it
would. I figured that Rama would rescue
Sita and then they would do something that would cause them to return to their
godhoods. I definitely did not think
that Rama would banish Sita for infidelity even after she had proved herself
pure. He followed the will of his
people, even when they were truly wrong, without giving Sita a chance to prove
herself to them.
I did enjoy the battle story, although I think seeing into
the minds of some of the characters would have helped a little. It gets a little dry when you are reading the
story of the battle and you’re told there is dialogue happening but not what
the actual words are. I enjoyed the
twist of the ending and this section overall.
It was probably my favorite section of the Ramayana!
