I have been thinking why is this bangle being used again and again as prop. That's when I remembered the use of Handkerchief in Shakespearean Drama Othello.
Common points - Here its bangle and there in the handkerchief. Both belonged to the antagonist mother and very precious to them. Both token of love. And the best part is the story always lies in the hand of the person who holds the token of love.
Differences - Othello gives importance to the token of love ( handkerchief ) more than his love ( Desdemona) and there by destroys what could have been a beautiful married life. But here for Ram those bangles are important but not more than his love. He cares for Priya and not for the token of love.
Othello he doubts his love Desdemona as he finds the handkerchief with Cassio ( Othello's loyal captain). He doubts her having an affair with Cassio and decides to kill both Cassio and his wife. Reality is the handkerchief was planted in Cassio's room by Lago.
I am not sure if this has been the thought behind this bangle drama but whatever it is I love the fact that Ram cares for his love more than the token of love he gave Priya. There is no entrapment with token of love. When I say entrapment , I mean he doesn't believe that she needs to keep it close to her to prove her love for him. He believes in the love that she has showered on him and doesn't need any kind of proof from her. It makes him any day a better person and a great life partner.
What do you all think ??
