The Ramayana is one of the most revered religious writings of the Hindu religions. In it we learn about Vishnu, one of the gods of the Hindu religions, who was reincarnated as Prince Rama, son of Dasaratha. The reason why Rama is considered such a great religious, ethical and moral example is that throughout the work he shows himself to be an individual of upright moral and ethical character. Rama's role changes from unquestioning servility, student, pardoner, defender, and finally righteous ruler as he interacts with other key figures throughout the play. Rama displays unquestioned servility towards his parents; even those who are not his blood parents, but are included in his parental structure, such as Kaikeyi. Rama's role of humility and loyalty towards his parents shows how a good child should behave towards his parents no matter what is asked of them. When Kaikeyi tells Rama to leave and go out of town on a pilgrimage for 14 years, he does not question her, but instead hurries to carry out her orders as he believes her without a doubt that this is a mandate from her father. It is not in his nature to disbelieve her or question her as he feels it is his dharma to do what she says. “My only regret is that I wasn't told this by my father himself. I would have felt honored if he had commanded me directly." (45). Rama himself said that he would have been honored if his father had told him to go in Kaikeyi's place. He set out on his journey not in anger because he would not become king, but instead in a state of regret and with a feeling of obligation to do what his parents commanded him, just as he had done when he was younger and left he had gone with Viswamithra. on a journey that would shape her character throughout time... middle of the paper... far away, but once she walked through the fire and was delivered pure by the fire god Agni to Rama, he accept with open arms. “Rama, now satisfied that he had established his wife's integrity in the presence of the world, welcomed Sita back into his arms.” (p 149) Although in today's society Rama's views on morals and ethics are not always welcome, like some of his views on women, yet the vigorous way in which Rama always tries to be moral and is right to be praised. Even when his decisions are questionable from an external perspective, for example, when he shoots Vali from behind a tree he has a considerable moral and/or ethical reason, from his point of view, as to why or why he did not do such an act . What. Maybe his opinions are not always perfect, but one thing about Rama is certain: he always feels that he completes his dharma through actions
