Reading Notes: Ramayana Part C

PDE Ramayana: Hanuman's Leap. Source.  Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists by Sister Nivedita (1914).

The character I found interesting from this part of the story was Hanuman and his story. It was mentioned that when Hanuman was a child, one day he was hungry and couldn't find what to eat. Then he saw the sun in the sky and assumed it was a fruit. Since he was far away, the sun was smaller which looked like a fruit, so he wanted to reach the sun and eat it. Indra, another god, came along and had to hit him which caused the wind god to get mad. This shows how much everyone cared for Hanuman. 

I found the fact that Hanuman wanted to eat the Sun really interesting. This shows how innocent he was at that age and how everyone was so caring towards him. The way I would want to recreate the story is by Hanuman actually eating the sun and showing consequences. Such as the earth being dark twenty four hours a day because there is no sun and all the issues that can cause such as always being cold. Another issue can also be that people can't do work in the farms because there is no day like and that is what they use, natural light. The next issues that this will cause is the plants not growing because there is no sun and then people not having food to eat. There is endless amounts of consequences that can occur.
