Reading Diary B Week 3

Indrajit:
In this episode of the Ramayana, the battle between Rama and Ravana continues. I like the different details that were put into this battle. It leads to more suspense that the enemy could have actually won the battle if Garuda did not come to the aid of Rama’s army. If Indrajit is this strong then imagine how strong his father must be. It is cool how the Rakshashas gain power in the nighttime. This is similar to many other supernatural creatures such as werewolves and vampires. It adds to the dark character of Ravana’s army. This story could have went many different ways. What if Garuda never showed up, or Vibhishana was actually a spy for Ravana’s army? There is a possibility for an alternate ending here.

Kumbhakarna:
In this episode one of the strongest demons is awakened. This story could contribute to my project because it outlines a situation where a brahma placed a curse on a demon so that he would not be able to terrorize the universe. I think after reading the Ramayan I have enough material to write for my storybook/portfolio.

The Battle of Rama and Ravana:

In this episode Rama and Ravana fight. I like the character design of Ravana. He has so many heads and each time one is cut off another grows back to replace it. It is crazy how dependent each character is on the Brahma and the Gods. Without the blessing, curses, boones, and special weapons the characters would not be able to fight as well as they did.

The image below is of the battle that is happening in Lanka.
