Interesting personalities..
I have 2 instances of interesting personalities, maybe you would have more?
* Kaikeyi (of Ramayana) - She, being the step-mother of Rama, is the reason for the banishment of Rama to forest for 14 yrs. But how many know that this same Kaikeyi, is the one who gifted the newly wed Rama and Sita, with a palace made purely of Gold - the 'Kanaka Bhavan'? She is supposed to be a very good natured woman, just spoilt by the wicked 'Kooni' which made her get the boon from Dasharatha to send Rama on exile.
* Ravana - He, too, the 10-headed demon king of Ramayana, who abducted Sita , is supposed to be such a devout and austere bhakta of Lord Shiva - it is said he offered his own 9 heads in self-sacrifice to Lord Shiva during his penance and just when he was about to cut off his 10th head, Lord Shiva appeared before him and gave him immense boons. It is strange such a devout personality should stoop down so low as to abduct another man's wife and treat her so badly.
Do you know of interesting personalities as these?
