Unlike any other Greek mythology which focus on characteristics, sexuality and emotional difference between women and men, Ramayana is a beautifully written classical prince/princes story. Rama’s journey of being king is not an easy one; however, everything seems happened for a reason for him to become a role model. Rama’s father Dasharatha, King of Aydohya wants Rama to take his thorne; however, Dashartha’s second wife wants her son to rule so she traps Rama and banishes him in the forest for fourteen years. As he goes to the forest, Sita follows him which shows what a wife should be like because as a wife Sita accepts Rama’s life journey and respects it submissively. A bad thing turns into a good thing. Living in the forest is not easy; however, Rama manages it and feels even confortable living in there until Sita is in danger. Ravana who is ten-headed and also the king of Lanka tries to seduce Sita. He takes her to his kingdom while Rama is gone. Luckily, Rama saves Sita. After Sita proves her purity, Rama finally becomes a King. Ramayana’s story line should be familiar to everyone, but it timelessly tells us about being a role model in the society.
