Hi Auntie,
I hope I'm not troubli g you with my little question.
In last episode we saw chandra Helena behaving as a couple.
I noted a few characteristics of Helena.
Chandra is a very spontaneous person while Helena rarely lets her guard down.
No, my dear, Chandra is spontaneous only with Durdhara, as he has known her under circumstances, during his abused childhood, when she was the only pleasant thing in his life. He is not spontaneous with anyone else. In fact Chanakya has raised him to be suspicious of everyone around, and rightly so. Chandra hardly talks to anyone bar those two pals of his, and very little even to them; he is very withdrawn.
In fact, in the matter of communicativeness, Chanakya, Helena and Chandra are all pretty much alike. None of them ever lets his/her guard down, except during that silly babbling by Chandra to Nandini masquerading as a daasi.
While durdhara and chandra seem to be very easy and transparent people Helena very inquisitive like... Examines their dialogue though as a keen participant.
They are easy and transparent between themselves, that is all. Not in general
As for Helena, why would she not do that? Put yourself in her place. She knows nothing of Chandra's past, especially about any women in his life. Now, she may not be emotionally involved with him, but she is his wife and a degree of possessiveness goes with that position. Of course she will try and assess Chandra's chummy relationship with this new girl. Would you not do that in her place?
It is to her credit that when Durdhara falls on Chandra's neck - which was rather odd in that era, even if they had been childhood friends - Helena does not frown. She merely looks a little startled, as well she might!
She's not treacherous but she has her own priorities sorted out in her mind.
For example if chandra drops the plan to win over magadh... What will she do?
Just what she did to her father... Got him defeated by deceit acting as an informer?
Defeated by whom? By Magadha or by Malayaketu? That is a non starter, for she hates both.
And how would her getting Chandra defeated by someone else help her get closer to her goal of revenge against Malayaketu?
One has also to remember that Chandra has struck a deal with her, they are partners. She got him her father's army, he has to get her Malayaketu at her feet He will never welsh on that deal. So the whole idea is inconceivable.
What will she do if chandra doesn't settle to any of her wishes?in future?
I think she will try and persuade him, and if he can convince her that what she wants is not feasible, as with her desire to join in the fighting, she will drop the idea. As of now, she does not seem to want anything but to get Malayaketu destroyed.
If it is something else for which her desire is visceral, though what that could be I cannot imagine, she could go her own way to get it. Depends on how their relationship develops
Both are full of revenge... It's revenge which is uniting them..
What next?
Empire building.Helena will enjoy that. And being married partners will become a habit that soon smoothens out the rough edges. For both.
Your views please... I'm unable to figure it out
P. S as you said she's deriving the benefits from the deal of marriage... What if the benefits are curtailed in future.?
The benefit is really becoming the Queen of Magadha, for she would have got her revenge even without marrying Chandra. How can anyone curtail that rank? She will always remain the seniormost queen.
I'm sure she has assessed how simpleton durdhara is so when chandra marries her she takes it as okay..
We do not know anything about Durdhara as yet, Pakhi, Don't be too quick to give her a character certificate!😉
