It seems really strange to be finally finishing the story. Good battled evil and good won. I would have to say that my favorite part of these pages comes from Narayan's epilogue. I like where he explained that Hanuman had been advised to dedicate his like to serve Vishnu. He did this without even thinking about it when he realized who Rama really was. This demonstrates some awesome loyalty. It even was stated that if Rama's name was whispered, Hanuman was there. Even if the story of Rama was told, he would be present. Narayan states that Hanuman is one of the most important characters in the Ramayana and the narrator will often pay a tribute to him when the story is told.
If this book was a movie, the battle of Ravana and Rama would be the part where audience members were perched on the edge of their seat, holding their breath, and wondering how Rama was going to be able to take down the evil Ravana. It would definitely turn into one of the most talked about movie scenes of the season. I wonder if Rama would have been able to take down his enemy if he had not dedicated so much time to really think about his next moves.
