Vali = Bad elder monkey brother
Hanuman = Sugriva’s advisor, messenger, companion
Sugriva = Monkey King who Rama needs help
Sugriva shared same probs as Rama, cast away into exile and separated from his wife
The story of why Vila was mad at Sugriva and stole his wife was understandable, for him to cover the mouth of the cave with a mountain seems overzealous. However, Vila should have believed his brother if he loved him.
Tara wanted Vila to say sorry because she feared that Rama would win and she was right, poor Vila, he should have listened but he was too proud.
One verse of Vali and Sugriva’s fight describes them as like the sun and moon or like eagles in their fight, it would be cool to tell a story of discord between the sun and moon.
Rama only helped when Sugriva showed he needed it.
I didn’t realize that Rama’s exile was from any city, not just Ayodyha.
Sampati – Jatayu’s brother, gifted with sight directed them all in the direction of Lanka
All the monkeys were talking about how far they could jump, but not far enough until Hanuman who was the son of the wind-god. Hanuman can change size.
When Hanuman is searching the city for Sita and finds Mandodari he thinks she must be Sita, making Mandodari very intriguing…What else can I find out?
Might be cool to describe the she-demons guarding Sita more in depth
Trickster Hanuman
Graha = Hindu diety
Vibhishana is Ravana’s younger brother who allies with Rama because Ravana kicked him out thinking he didn’t honor him since he was advising against fighting Rama
Part D
Rama gets pissed and is told by God of Ocean to ask Nala to help build a bridge- really surprised that the story allowed Rama to act questionable
I had to look up why Rama would find out how he knew Garuda-Because he is Vishnu’s mount.
Why could beautiful women awake Ravana’s brother before his time?
Hanuman is awesome and carried a whole mountain top his story needs to be elaborated, or a poem of all his wow-ness put together in one.
Laks almost died and Rama was going to follow after, his lament would be good to put into normal words
Again, Hanuman saved the day with the medicine herbs Laks is alive!
Indra intercepted with help, because of the boon, only ape or man can kill Ravana
If the God’s are always going to intervene and go for the good, why ever grant boons?
Say what??? Rama cannot have Sita now because she was held captive by Ravana for so long? And to be offered instead to the brother’s, a monkey chief, or the now Demon King(even though he is honorable)? A woman scorned is a story to tell.
What if Rama had returned one day after his 14-year promise to Bharat?
Sita gets exiled because the kingdom doesn't believe she was pure. Again a woman scorned...Then when she comes back after Rama realizes she had twins the Earth swallows her to keep her in Heaven.
Not much told about his sons...maybe expand a story about them.
When Rama decides his time on Earth is done, he tells Hanuman that he is to live forever as long as his story is being retold.
