Rama is really quiet during all of this time in the book, and it would be interesting to know what he is thinking about everything.
The forest exile could be paralleled to a prison, and the kingdom compared to a business.

It is interesting to me how Rama looks at Sita. The book is written in a way that when he sees his wife, he notices the early things that she is wearing, but each earthly think to him is linked to a characteristic of her as a person.
Lakshmana is Rama's brother. Kamavalli/ Soorpanaka is the sister of the man Rama wishes to defeat (Ravana). Kara is Ravanas stepbrother.
I think I could rewrite this story pretty easily using New York City as the setting and rewriting the character of Rama as a heroic villain.
