Why does Justin have to sacrifice himself - Page 2

I understand, they see a picture which we can't see. I m totally stunned since I have never seen something like this. Seen a mother killing her son so that he doesn't do any more bad. But nothing like this.

But I don't agree with them becoz may be as a viewer I m able to see what Justin wasn't able to see. May be becoz he considers himself as a failure as he couldn't be samrat.

Till day siamak was under Justin,we could see results, even chanakya said siamak is best but u never know what he turns when he grows up as he is Mir khurasan s grandson. I feel if he would grow up under guidance of justin, Justin would bring out the best of siamak, while being under the most cruel people Helena and khurasan, siamak would automatically disqualify from being samrat. Wish Justin would have realised his self, siamak would have great future. Though he doesn't become king but still would remain a good human.

Justin did a great mistake of saving his cruel mother and greedy nikator.He sacrificed his life for his son Siamak.Poor Justin his death will go futile if Siamak will nt become the king.How is he damn sure that Siamak wud become the king as he is nt the only one aiming for the throne.Charumitra and Sushim are also fighting for it.In the future wat might happen nobody knows

Wonderful post Sandhya..this is exactly what historicals need, GRAY characters. We usually end up getting pure white or pure black.

I don't agree with painting Justin as a weakling.He never wanted the throne.At the same time he wanted his mother's approval.So he was tugged between two equal and opposing forces.He had more shades of grey than any other character.And that's what makes him more interesting than somebody like Ashok who's always picture perfect and never succumbs to temptation.

As for saving only Siamek and Noor, Justin was kept ignorant of the whole plot on purpose.When he finally learned about it, he tried to inform Bindusara that night itself.Unfortunately the king was not available.Thereafter Helena, Nicator and the rest of the plotters made sure that Justin never had a single moment to slip away and inform the king in private.If the whole plot was told to the king in private and in advance there was a chance that Bindusara would have avoided the death penalty and sent Helena to exile.But after the whole public Lakshgraha incident there was no way that it could be kept private.Bindusara would demand the death of the conspirators to pay for the countless deaths in the Lakshgraha.

The fear that his mother would be executed kept Justin silent.

The other choice she had was telling the truth, getting herself killed and leaving justin who will be called as a traitor's son. Nobody will believe that he was not involved. This will leave a slim chance of yunani ascension to throne and thus revenge against Maurya Vansh.

It was a choice between the devil and the deep sea. Mother and son choose an option that is less harmful to their goal and purpose.

Yes. Helena is so hard hearted and cruel that she places her purpose above her son. But that was Justin's wish too. This heard heartedness leaves Chanakya stunned.

They have perfectly showed the wicked aspects of politics for power 👏 👏. That even a mother to gain power, however, indirectly can even scapegoat her son.
