This is society after all… this is other face of righteousness… some castigate for action, some castigate for the loss of idealism… which is why liberalism will always find it tough…
Expected of Jethu and Bodoma.. reflective of conservatism.. the reason why J was sorta an ideal to them cos they have an expectation of a particular behaviour… they are aware of the love at least Bodoma is… the expectation was that by staying on the path of idealism, their affection was won… The double standards of society would be clearly visible.. the man’s behaviour will have less censure but the women’s behaviour will invite deep censure and distaste….
While some of you may think it expedient in the tale but I like such explanations cos they are believable when seen in a macro sense. It might seem very difficult to accept the volte face but not totally unusual..
Having said this… I am also looking back to the J pregnancy track where the actions were different by Jethu and Bodoma I am trying to analyse that too… but I suppose expediency is the name of the game too…
