However, they are heroes to me because of their sincerity, loyalty, purity, and respect toward their beloved husband and the people. When comparing these two novels, The Ramayana by R. K. Narayan to The Odyssey by Homer, Sita’s represents the epitome of by her Indian culture that has alike values with the Ancient Greek culture concerning faith and family ties. Even though women weren’t treated equally to the men during that

Ramayana, translated by William Buck, is an ancient Indian epic telling the story of a prince named Rama who fights against his adversary, Ravana. Although there are many important female characters throughout the book, they are often seen as subordinate to their male counterparts where intelligence and strength are concerned. One character who proves this stereotype wrong is Sita, Rama’s wife, who often shows that she has the capacity of being just as powerful as the men of the story. By being more

all religions, races, castes, and nations are part of one’s character. To analyze what makes one’s character using Ramayana and Aristotle, it is important to evaluate each of their statements and what they are trying to explain. After comparing what each says, we will be in position of establishing the essence of a human character and their morals and ethics. In the story of Ramayana, Lord Rama is considered the embodiment of dharma; dharma is not just a set of do and don’t or a simplistic evaluation

from Narayan’s The Ramayana, the portrayal of men and women in ancient India show how both men and women have emotional distresses, but their reactions to this distress are different, showing how men and women are supposed to follow masculinity or femininity. Sita’s exaggerated plight, Rama’s muted distress, and the emotional distress of the men of Mithila when they cannot marry Sita, shows different ways that the story portrays men and women through love, and how The Ramayana defines how men and

The Process of the Advancement of the Human Soul Towards its Perfection in Ramayana and the Mahabharata The whole of the Ramayana is an Epic of humanity.

The theme of dharma can be found throughout the Ramayana. Rama, firmly committed to duty, is meant to be a near perfect representation of dharma (though he stumbles in a few places, as I will explore in the next paragraph), an example to strive toward. Here, though, I will examine examples within the text of adharma, and through examining what not to do, find out more about what to do. I will focus mostly on the actions of three characters: Kaikeyi, Soorpanaka, and Ravanna. But first I will examine

Both epics involve open dialogue with an avatar of Vishnu and are greatly concerned with the ideals in fulfilling Dharma. In both epics both Lord Ram and Krishna discuss how to be the ideal person.

Manishada is based on an incident and characters of the great epic of Valmiki The Ramayana. Manishada[nay wild hunter] is an utterance of big bang proscription in Sanskrit against violence and conducts without love.
