Rama shows great strength and honor when he denies coming
back. He was exiled for a reason, and just because Dasharatha has died, it does
not mean that he can come back. Having Rama give Bharata his golden sandals
will allow people that once loved Rama know that he is still there. Rama is showing
that he is noble. This is an admirable trait for a character and I will
incorporate this into my story.
Shurpanakha seems like an antagonist in this story as she is
trying to seduce Rama, a loyal and married man. It mentions how ugly she is and
that her heart is filled of love for Rama. She is going to pursue Rama, but the
feelings are not reciprocated. In my story, I could make Rama be seduced by
Shurpanakha and make there be almost a love triangle and he has to chose which
woman he loves more. He would choose Sita, but there would be this conflict
that would add some drama to the story. There is later a fight and Shurpanakha
is humiliated and jealous and wishes to get revenge.
I like to see conflict due to power/love so this part of the
story is very interesting for me. A battle begins and Rama has so much love for
Sita that he needs to protect her before the fight breaks out. He must live in
order to be with his beloved wife. Rama won the battle. In my story, I was
thinking that I could write that somehow Sita had been captured by Khara and
Rama would have to obey Khara to get Sita back, which means Rama could easily
get hurt. Due to him having great power, Rama would win the battle and continue
to love Sita. Having this occur would create possible trust issues between Rama
and Lakshmana, whom he told to secure Sita, and this would create tension.
I can see my story going along the lines of Rama being the
main character and him having to choose between a lot of difficult decisions,
but he chooses the right one every time. It would create drama and a more
modern twist on a love story.
