Much confusions are created without understanding Rama’s Character during analysis of Ramayana. Even according to Myth Vishnu is born only as a man and lives like a man. He has all the failings of man as enumerated below. Then why is he treated a hero. It is because every time he does not let human weaknesses overtake him but rises above them and conquers the situation. In this page we are enumerated the ordinary human virtues that Rama displays. How he conquers them and sets for high standard of behavior is all that Ramayana is all about. But as many Preachers (Upanyasakars) give him a godly cover they distort the Ramayana and falsely create a superman like character and thereby defeat the purpose of Ramayana which is written to give us guidance and moral strength to face all our daily ethical dilemma.
Please refer to Characterization of Rama in Ayodyakanda sarga 1 Sloka Nos. 9 to 32
