Ramayana

One theme of Ramayana can be seen as the fight between Good and Evil.  The fight is between Rama and Ravana. Ravana tries to steal Rama’s wife Sita away from him.  Ravana created a plan to abduct Sita. Ravana shapeshifts into a deer which Sita desired. Rama and Lakshman go off to hunt the deer for Sita.  They draw a protective circle around Sita to keep her safe.  Ravana soon appears as a begger trying to trick Sita.  Sita steps outside the circle to give him food and Ravana grabs her and takes her away to his kingdom in Lanka. Rama is shocked when he returns  and cannot find Sita.  Ravana wants Sita to become his wife, but Sita is loyal to Rama.  Ravana cannot force her to be his wife so he threatens her to try to get her to marry him. Sita can only think about her love, Rama.  Hanuman, the general of the monkey army flies to Lanka and finds Sita in the grove. He comforts her and tells her Rama will soon come save her.  Hanuman flies back to Rama to tell him where Sita is. Rama, Lakshman and the monkey army build a walkway from the tip of India to Lanka and cross over to Lanka. A great battle ensues between Rama and Ravana. Rama kills several of Ravana's brothers and then Rama confronts the ten-headed Ravana. Rama finally kills Ravana and sets Sita free. After Sita proves here purity, they go back to Ayodhya and Rama takes back the throne and becomes king. As in most stories good always conquers evil as it does in the story of Ramayana.  This story portrays Rama as the hero trying to save his true love from being taken away from him.
