Reading Notes: Rama and the Monkeys, Part B

These are my reading notes on the second part of "Rama and the Monkeys."

This began with "The Council of the Evil Beings."  Lanka was completely ruined and Ravana was furious.  He wanted revenge.  He gathered his "Evil Beings" and they talked of Hanuman never escaping should he return to their city.  They schemed of getting rid of all the monkey tribes and Rama.  They talked like it would be no big deal to them at all.  They gathered their weapons and starting boasting incessantly. Ravana's younger brother quieted them, telling them that they must be wise.  He claimed that Rama and Hanuman might not be so easy to conquer and that they should think about sending Sita back.
