Imlie has always been moralistic, she takes the high road even in situations when she’s been wronged. She has the heart to wholeheartedly love a child created like this, but that’s because she’s been built that way, consistently, as a character. It makes viewers associate with her even in situations where she makes mistakes or where she should be standing up for her own self-respect. She goes through much humiliation, but her core traits are preserved and her growth throughout this journey reflects in her actions.
The writers love showing Adi in the grey, though. They want to show him strong enough to fight for his marriage with Imlie, but at the same time they want to push him & constantly keep him in a zone of blinding guilt or helplessness with respect to Malini. His actions are misconstrued no matter what he does, and it’s becoming hard to figure out how much of it is the character itself, and how much is a bias in writing. Even though he doesn’t suffer the humiliation that Imlie’s been through, I can’t help but feel for the way his character is manipulated to fit the narrative. It’s not fair to Adi at all. 👎🏼
mage has the heart to accept the child bcoz her entire childhood she was mistreated for no fault of hers hence I can understand her stance … but she doesn’t understand tht she being in the child’s life along with malini will be stressful for the child the kid will always have complicated relationships around it … 🤦🏽♀️ She should move away and I hope some really sensible and dashing person gives her … her lost wings …
