When King Dasaratha claimed Rama as his favorite son, Manthata, servant of Queen Kaikeyi, said that the queen's son, Bharata, should be the next king. Dasaratha owes his life to the queen, so he sees fit to have her son as the next king. From the point of view of Kantian moral ethics, Manthata does not have good moral value. He makes his decisions based on a negative motivation, which is desire. His actions are not morally motivated. This could also symbolize how life forces can put pressure on how people make their decisions. The queen had no problem with Rama becoming king until her servant had something to say about it. Rama is a character who knows his dharma and what kind of person he is throughout the myth. Nothing seems to change the way he makes his decisions. When he was practically exiled to the forest for fourteen years, he left without a fight. “Rama was not in the least disturbed and replied that she was only too happy to keep the promises her father had made to her” (246). Rama's wife, Sita, and her brother are very loyal characters who seem to know their role in society. They willingly go with Rama to live in the forest because they feel it is their duty, especially for Sita
