I'm not sure if you've noticed yet, but I like reading between lines. And I've done that for almost all episodes. I hope I'm not overanalyzing for when you do that, you lose the original essence. I do think creatives show each and every scene very symbolically and you may be right about your analysis today re: dupatta. I didn't think of it that way. I have a slightly different way of analyzing that piece.
Maan knows the value of a dupatta and he takes it very seriously - especially when it comes to Geet for she is a small towner, cut lil innocent kid. So whenever her dupatta goes astray i.e. - her izzat, he makes sure to bring it with him and give it back to her. We've seen this a few times now and I'm not going to bore you with that list - that was your original topic of discussion anyway.
What catches my eye is that he, himself, cannot bear to see her without it. Right from the beginning he looked away when he found her without her dupatta:
- Torn saree at the party
- While she is dressing up for the launch party
- When she leaves it in his hands after wiping off ink off his face
- When she is getting ready for the shaadi
- When she tore her dupatta today, he looked away (this was the most beautiful part for me)
Does this mean he cannot bear to see any harm on her izzat? Yes of course. But then, what is he going to do once he finds out Dev cheated her? He is surely going to kill him. And then how will be overcome the guilt that it was his own brother who caused so much pain to the girl he has come to love the most in his life?
This has given me idea for another topic...look out for 'food for thought' in the next few fours....
Yes dol i agree totally...and yes...there has been a lot..of symbolism i can see in this serial..i had made a topic long long back..let me post...it here..
Geet and Symbolism
I like the way Geet uses symbolism to portray deeper meanings of life…
Everday there is something we can take home..besides Maaneet… but yes really take home into our lives
Be is sharing, caring, giving, tenderness or heartache. All give us depth of what it feels like to be in love or to love someone.
Some of the symbolisms I have seen are
The dupatta – ek naari ki lajja… How Maan always and I mean always ensures that he respects Geet, her dupatta signifies the symbolism of being dignity that surrounds a woman. It protects and covers a woman not literally but figuratively her self respect.
The wound Maan gets – noticed how whenever Geet had been in pain or hurt, it is always Maan hurting his left hand too. Especially noted during the scenes in hoshiyarpur where he hurt himself and even when he hurt her, his wound got scratched again he once again hurt himself. This is symbolism of his understanding her pain, what better than to feel her pain like his own.
The Taveez – this is probably the biggest symbolism of all..
He is her destiny and vice versa. Taveez bind them together, this of course sy mbolises that destiny will always bring two people who are meant for each other together, no matter what…
These are some that I find…pls add what you have seen as well and if you agree with me!
