Ramasya ayanam iti Ramayanam. The Ramayana unfolds the story of Rama. It is also the story of Divinity. Further, Ramayana is the epic, which unfolds the story of Sita; and the story of Sita is also the story of the individual self. The third aspect of the Ramayana is the annihilation of Ravana. The destruction of Ravana signifies the destruction of ignorance. Ignorance is extinguished when we realise perfectly the relationship between the individual self and the Absolute Self.
