In the Ramayana, we learn about the epic adventures of the hero Rama. Rama is a hero, but an ethical hero. This means that he has a moral code that he likes to stick to, and that he really values his principles. This is obvious when he hesitates before killing Thataka. Thataka is female, and Rama is conflicted about the idea of hurting a woman. This shows that Rama values principles and morality.
