Reading Notes: Ramayana D

The story of Hanuman leaping across the sea and burning down Lanka were also in the comic book that I read two weeks ago. Hanuman seems to be slightly impulsive as he easily burns down Lanka and thought that Ravana's other wife was Sita.

Vibishana sounds like he doesn't want to be with Ravana and has a softer heart.

Seems like people have a prejudice against monkeys or maybe it's just Rama. Could incorporate hate of monkeys in the Vali story.

The actions of Vibishana are confusing to me. He tells Ravana that Ravana is still his chief, but goes to Rama and gives him all of Ravana's battle plans.

Pushpak vimana the flying chariot makes an appearance. I might be using this later for storybooks. It appears that Ravana may also be slightly fearful of Rama as he puts on full body protective armor and uses his chariot. He is going to pull out everything to win.

The chariots are like fighter jets in the sky sending all sorts of weapons at each other. Rama would ten recognize a weakness in Ravana's jet. Apparently these chariots are huge.
