I know I have a PhD in literary criticism, so I will be a bit of a nerd. The way Shakespeare wrote it, Romeo and Juliet was a satire of young love which doesn't know the difference between love and infatuation and romanticises death in its garb. The play literally begins with Romeo being majnu over Juliet's cousin Rosaline and within days falls in love with Juliet who is 13.

They both die over a 'love' that didn't even last weeks.

So yeah, Adi is definitely like Romeo

Devdas is literally about colonisation and old money and Devdas is shown as developing alcoholism due to property dispute with his father. Paro plays a very ornamental role in the book.

Again, very much like Aditya. Toodles!

This is what happens when you don't read the entire thing!

Thanks for the (as usual pretentious) enlightenment but I already aware of the above as I have read Romeo & Juliet and Devdas cover to cover innumerable times (more than I care to admit).😆

Being a PhD in literary criticism, you are probably aware that literature deals with a whole host of characters, a lot them being flawed like Heathcliff and the Byronic heroes. The fact that their flawed natures are satirised and criticised by the author does not make them any less enigmatic for people. I'll even give the example of Prem from KZK who was another such troubled and flawed character who's love Mukti was killed off because Ekta felt that was his comeuppance. Despite his innumerable flaws (he even tried to rape Mukti), he enjoyed a large fanbase.

Interpretation is another such thing. I am sure you are also aware that literature can be interpreted in a whole range of ways and not just through a narrow point scoring feminist lens that is entailed on entitlement.😛Laughable and unrealistic things like making a 19 year old college girl CEO for a day which would be shot down so hard in the real world.😆

I am so glad Aditya is not like that.😆

Oh no, how can you say that. Those are attempts at getting her to forgive him and get her back.

Some great rose tinted glasses I must say

Unlike Aryan's attempts at trying to save her from getting blown up. That's a #Metoo if I ever saw one.

That was never the point, now, was it?

Was there ever a point ?

I wish he'd learn how to deal with his flaws before mandhandling her, groping her, touching her inappropriately and restraining her against her will.😆

I would read this more as comfortable enough in each other’s company, there is level of trust , she not once mentioned to him don’t touch me , or even showed being uncomfortable when he holds her hands.

I am certainly not supporting any form of inappropriate touch be it on a man or a women , but this was never shown as issue between these two so far … 😳

Let's not go into real world shall we. As a lawyer, I can assure you that all those series of marriages would not be the sanest things in real world as well.

Most importantly in a real world, people don't survive blasts that are right under their legs. If we can gulp it down, I'm pretty sure, a 19 year old CEO can be gulped down as well

When did he pretend ?

He came across as cold, calculative and arrongant all this while .

When did he show his mahanta, adarshwadi usool, and those big gyaan bhari baatein ? I think we mistaking him for someone else

I don't see why you keep bringing Adi up, I never disputed his many flaws and neither did he.

The pretentious ones have to provide the receipts.😉

yes because in real world people tend to make their wives the maid of their house... 😛

dream husband of every 19-yr old

who'd want the one who makes her the boss in front of ne who wants to make her naukrani-cum-chhoti maa

yes because those actions are reserved for half-husband 😆

Adi never groped her or restrained her against her will. And yes, getting too touchy feely with a woman is usually reserved for after marriage for respectable people.😆

I was just saying this to counter the point chat Arylie are more realistic and stories like Romeo & Juliet are unrealistic LOL.😆 I never said Adilie are realistic so try not to strawman.😛

Great how we are back to Ekta from Shakespeare, and Sharat Chandra, and Eyre, and Byron.

And back from Interpretation to real world, no less! Good, good!

Interpretation of an attempt-rapist as anything but is so postmodernist and postcolonial, don't you agree?
