- Dasharatha's funeral ceremonies are very interesting to me. I could rewrite this story into a poem with a lot of emotional imagery.
- Rama's and Bharata's monologues are very thought provoking and would prove challenging to rewrite.
- The fight with Viradha is thrilling. It might be fun to rewrite this story in an even darker style, similar to a ghost story.
- The poem version of Shurpanakha announcing her love to Rama paints the goddess as a very strong and powerful woman (which she is) while the prose version doesn't do so well of a job. I could play with this concept in a story.
- I would like to imagine what Sita was thinking when she first laid eyes on the golden deer, how it captivated her.
- The story of Kabandha is so short, but has so much potential. I could expand this story to make it more dramatic.
- With Viradha, Kabandha, and Shabari, there seems to be a theme developing in which Rama sets gods free by killing them.
