Reading Notes: PDE Ramayana Part B

The life of Rama changes a lot throughout Part B, but the part I found must interesting was when Rama lost Sita. It seemed very Shakespearean.

Rama and Jatayu


Rama is upset that Sita is gone. He weeps and weeps and is completely distraught that she is gone. Lakshmana tries to console him but is not successful. He then basically throws himself a pity party. While doing that Jatayu also dies. 

The whole section is very sad for Rama, but also somewhat funny because of how dramatic the storyline, and Rama, is. I think this story would transfer into a Romeo and Juliet situation very well.
