Rama had a bridge built to get to Lanka. Although it seems like it would be easier to just build boats instead of a bridge. It also seems like Ravana's pride is the cause of his downfall. This plot point would make for an interesting story. Also for some reason Ravana tried to make Sita think that Rama was dead. I did not really like how Rama is crazy powerful to the point where nothing was really at stake. Throughout the story there is never any question if Rama is going to win, but during the battle it starts to somewhat feel like a battle where both sides suffer and we really see Rama struggling to win. As a result, I want to make my stories have the hero struggle and even lose at times.
Ravana being sad about his sons death is somewhat similar to how Achilles is sad in The Illiad when Patroclus dies. And Ravana decides to go on a rampage as well. I do not really like how Hunaman is able to just keep going to the Himalayas super quickly to revive the warriors who died. It was interesting how Rama tested Sita to make sure she was faithful to him, and although it looked like he was being unreasonable at first I think he knew that she was faithful so she would be able to pass the trial.
I thought it was dumb that Sita was exiled by Rama. Especially because she went into exile with Rama on her own will, it kind of stings that she was forced into exile.
