Sita and Ravana
Main Characters:
Hanuman
Sita
Ravana
Plot:
During this story, Hanuman - Rama's friend who was sent to find Sita - discovers where Sita is. At the moment, Ravana approaches Sita to be his wife instead of Rama's wife. In exchange for the marriage, Ravana promised Sita wealth and freedom. However, Sita's heart belongs to Rama. Sita rejects Ravana's offer and Ravana left Sita to the guards. Sita has 2 months to agree to the terms or she dies from a tortured death.
Setting:
In the Ashoka Grove
Story Idea:
I would like to tell the story in Ravana's point of view. It would be interesting to go through his thoughts on why Sita would be a suitable wife for him even though he has wives waiting for him. I believe that the point of view of the "villain" can be eye opening. The villain can often be skewed when the story is told in the point of view of the hero, in this case Rama.
