Explorations in Religious Identity (RE 300 WR)

I was also really interested in E.V.R.'s clear dislike for Rama, because from what we have discussed in the class leading up to this point, Rama is supposed to be the epitome of the perfect human being. But as I was reading the Ramayana and especially some of the stories from this week, I also found myself really not like Rama's character. And I know for me, part of the reason I do not like his character is because of how he treats Sita; I as a woman tend to read more into that narrative than the battles fought in the forest. It was neat reading this week how not everyone views Rama the same, and how a person's experience really impacts their understanding of the story and its players.
