Reading Notes: Ramayana PDE, Part D
The part where Ravana uses magic to make Sita see things that aren't real is crazy. It's such an interesting and fun idea/topic. Ravana makes me think of a stalker/bad relationship. I could write about a woman being manipulated by her boyfriend to see things that are fake. Maybe his goal would be to drive her crazy or make her be with him even though she wants out of the relationship.
The scene is quite moving where Rama and Lakshmana are lying there near dead and the army is terrified and ready to go home. And then in sails this legendary king of the birds who revives Rama and his brother. I enjoyed the energy and emotion of this part and would like to try to recreate this feeling in my own work somehow.
The idea of a sleepy and tired giant interested me. Although I think if I wrote on this, my giant would be friendly. Maybe this would be the protector of a forest and only awakens when needed.
I felt bad for Mandodari. Her husband died fighting the guy whose wife he stole and tried to rape. He couldn't be content with his wife(s), but had to push the limits and ended up dead. I could write about a woman whose husband continuously cheated on her. Her husband would end up dying because he slept with someone else's wife and that woman's husband found out. Except, in my story, she would be relieved to get away from his cheating and possibly abuse.
I really disliked how Rama treated Sita when they were reunited. I know he explained he was just defending his honor and "never had any doubts about Sita's loyalty," but that was rude. I definitely would've written this to be a more loving and excited scene. I could write about a military wife being reunited with her husband from war. He would not assume she was tempted by other men while he was gone. They would be excited to see each other.
