Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana, Section B


     In this next part of the book the story begins to develop and thicken. While the story progresses, the characters become more involved, intertwined, and important to each part of the overall story. One character that sticks out is Sita, who is Rama’s wife. Is embarks on this journey with Rama and is by his side through most encounters. Sita has become a target in the last few stories of this section because of her ties to Rama. At first, she is targeted because someone falls in love with Rama and they want her out of the picture. Strangely it is Rama’s brother Lakshmana who saves Sita and not Rama, I wonder if there is anything between them. Sita then becomes another target as Ravana falls madly in love with her. It seams she is targeted a lot, is there something more special about her that we will find out later. What will happen to her and Rama with all of the new love interests. We leave this section with Sita in danger again with Rama no where to be found. What will happen to Sita and will she be okay on her own? The author continues to paint very vivid scenes, where someone could imagine they were there.
