Probably then the difference lies in our understanding of the term "doormat"...he idolizes and respects his mother to an extreme level..he doesnt go beyond what she says coz he fears hurting her...according to him, she has suffered a lot and now the onus is on him to bring her our of all the days of struggle and unhappiness and make sure she is never humiliated ever again...to give her a respectable life and make her feel like a queen...and that for me is not being a doormat...
For me a doormat wld b defined as "" a person who is the habitual object of abuse or humiliation by another." or " One who submits meekly to domination or mistreatment by others."" This is how most dictionaries define a doormat kind of person..here , he is not intentionally subjecting himself to mist reatment or abuse..he thinks his mother loves him much more than he can even imagine...forget even realising that he is being played with...according to Dev, there is no abuse or humiliation or mistreament here coz the person in question is his mother..he trusts her more than him...so how can he b called a doormat ? It wld be different case if he knew how wicked his mother is..if he knew she was plotting against him..and still humbly allowing her to do so..but here thats not the case at all...for him, his mom can never be wrong..
Yes , i agree to the flaws u mentioned..abt realising that his mom is a human and is capable of making mistkes..thats something i always agreed to..n i want him to realise it soon..that she can b wrong too...
