These were some very interesting pages of the Ramayana. There were battles and deaths. There were abductions and disguises. This part of the story felt like a truly epic Indian Epic. I am a visual learner, so I adored the multiple descriptions of different scenes. The moments where Rama is contemplating his future course of action is a great example of this. The way the clouds are described make it easy to picture.

Also, the part where Sita threw down her jewelry so they could have a way to find her was rather brilliant. Even when they found Sita among all the ladies, she had thought ahead to keep a small piece of jewelry so they knew that it was really her. These actions demonstrate that Sita kept a level head through everything. It really is no wonder why the god Vishnu incarnate would love this woman.
Rama demonstrates that he loves Sita so much. When they doubt they will be able to find her, Rama assures them they will know and describes Sita's feet in such loving detail. He has paid attention to her. I feel like there is probably a good marriage lesson in here somewhere. However, that is something for a different class and a different conversation.
