if everything you said justified..Originally posted by: tournesol
Hi, I came to share what I felt about Maya today. I did not post it in main forum because I don't know how people would take it, I don't want to offend anyone unnecessarily. But I have made friends here, which is why I shared what I thought. I am not expecting everyone to agree but I hope that at least my POV is understood. š
"When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.ā - Sarah J. Maas.
Something is wrong. I think it's because we did not read the instructions carefully before opening the bottle of wine, including me. This is a revenge drama, they never said the revenge would be just. We knew Maya would be obsessed with revenge, but somewhere in our minds we automatically linked her revenge with justice, and we started looking for it. Today it became clear that it is not necessarily the case.
Maybe it happened unknowingly due to Maya's inclination towards Gita and Lord Krishna. But then MJ also worshiped a Devi and abused a woman/women. I think makers have indirectly showed us that not everything people do in the name God is right. Mainly because people aren't God/perfect.
Maya is also a flawed woman in her own way. She is psychotic, trapped in time, trapped in her pain: a justified pain; trapped in her revenge that is not necessarily just. She obsessed with her revenge to the extent of killing an innocent, naive boy enamored by her enigma just because he is MJ's son. He trauma consumes her so much that she transforms into someone like her tormentor to another person (it's like how bully-victims grow up into bullies). And she convinces her mind she is doing right by reading Gita. She uses it to sing a lullaby to her conscience and seduce it into a sound sleep.
One might find fault in her that why did she knowingly have an affair with a married man and hoped to be his child's mother. Of course she might be at fault, but then we don't know the whole story to judge whether she was right or wrong, in any given POV (Maya's/MJ's/in general). Also why do we expect our protagonists to be always right or just? Real people are never so. Real people are an imperfect super-complicated mixture of 'good' and 'evil'.
Maybe because we want to feel something good of our world through our stories. Maya's tender side, for her mom, brother, dad, child, Rudra.. all these gave us hope to search for light in the darkness. We desperately wanted Maya to have a happy ending, and we all got trapped in a kind of maya, including me. But this Maya is a real person, with her given good and bad, turned psychotic because of trauma - that leads her to her Beyhadh tendencies. Her extremities in action arise from her psychosis.
But then she is also bounded. All emotions that exist in her are bounded by her thirst for revenge. She feels love, and then it gives her pain when it reminds her of the past. She is a writer which means she understands people, and has a certain degree of empathy. And she exercises empathy as long as it doesn't interfere with her revenge. She amputates her emotions, feelings, empathy, light that travels beyond the boundary of her mission.
It's crazy, it doesn't make sense, but that's how Maya is: Sanki. We might stumble across the degree of justice in her actions when we stop searching for it, like happiness in life. I feel we should give makers a chance to tell their story, without judging, at least for sometime, because they also gave us Maya1. Who knows we might find our answers along the way..or maybe never. Only time would tell (or TRPs ).
Good night! Thanks for reading š¤
