Week 4 Reading Diary Continued: Rama and the Monkeys


In the second part of Rama and the Monkeys, it begins by Vibhishana telling his brother Ravana to give Sita back because it is clear that Rama is a powerful being. His brother warns Ravana of his possible death. Vibhishana goes on the side of Rama and tells him how to find Sita and how to reach Lanka. I am interested in altering the scene where Rama and his troops build the bridge.  After crossing the bridge Ravana gets word that Rama has entered the city and sends out Suka and Surana to investigate what are the strengths of the army. Rama and his army set forth the quest to find Sita but it was more difficult than anticipated. Surgiva finds Ravana and they begin to fight. Ravana was losing the battle and sent his son out to destroy Rama and his brother. I plan on altering his son’s attitude towards him. Rama’s brother ends up killing Indragit which I plan on altering. Similar to the previous version of the Ramayana that I read Rama kills Ravana. The ending in this version ended happily ever after as compared to the previous version where Rama basically died because everything went wrong!
