The way Rama is exiled, his wife wants to come
but he says its not her fault, and she doesn’t have to come. I could
incorporate how she doesn’t feel as just though its her duty, but she doesn’t
want to leave her loved one.
·
You can see how much Darsaratha loved his son,
and how much he wanted to make him king. This family bond when broken kills the
father.
·
I can portray the mother as the evil step mother
from Cinderella.
·
Relating to Cinderella, the mother wants to make
her daughter the chosen one just like Bharatha’s mother. He could be the step
child that eventually sees what his mother is planning and though decided to do
the right thing in the end, it is too late. Bharatha is trying to do good, and
all his actions he assumed were for the right reasons. Just Ciderella’s step
sisters. Then when he actually goes back to rule in Rama’s place at request maybe
the land goes in turmoil under his ruling and he realizes that he should have
given Rama his rightful leadership ahead of time.
·
Shurpanakha is an interesting characters. She
claims to be not a demonist, yet her actions show otherwise. Not sure how to
play her into a Cinderella story, but she could be the “hotter, prettier” woman
that almost ruins true love; maybe even she does… Though in the story Rama defeats
the demons and stays with Sita, there could be a twist.
·
Since Ravana ends up wanting Sita, although
originally she doesn’t want him, she could fall in love with him. There could
be a double twist, where two love stories of a couple and a brother/sister
occurs.
·
For Sita not to hurt her husband by not being in
love with him, she could have been in on the plan with Ravana. With Rama
thinking that he was doing what his wife wanted him to do for her, could all
just be a trick in disguise. Once Rama goes for the deer, Sita could escape
with Ravana, without hurting Rama’s feelings.
