If you look at Diya's character, she is someone who is all head. she is strong. she had a laser sharp focus on her goal and in pursuit of it she didn't care about anything else. she was willing to sacrifice everything for that one goal. her happiness. her life even.
but at that very time as well, she was a daughter who lived in the guilt of having her her parents. it was shown many times when she shed tears after eesha's taunts. she was also someone who after all of this wanted to be a wife and live that life showering her husband with love and that meant cooking amazing food for him.
18 year old Diya never aspired to be a working woman she was happy marrying Abhay and live life of a homemaker like cooking food for her hubby and waiting at home when he come back from 0ffice.Even now she does not want to work as when she left kesar mahal she got many job offers but she rejected all as he wanted to spend time with her family...nothing wrong with it as its personal choice if a woman wants to work of not.
once her protector duty was done, her only aim was making things right with her parents. doing what they ask of her. and at some point that marraige with abhay.
when she made promise to maan...somewhere even though she was losing so much, it felt right in her head and her heart. that she was doing the right thing. now when she has promised her father, she knows in her head and her heart it was wrong thing. but she has promised to do what they want for their happiness. so you have a diya who is doing things she doesnt agree with and believe it. she cannot have that same sharp focus right now until that is resolve.
her idea of following her parents wishes...and theirs too...in fact their blunt instructions are that she should keep ratan happy...do what her new family wants...dont fight with them and object. make this relationship work by hook or crook.
Her parents are main reason why she is taking all this S**t from ratan as she want to give one try to make this marriage work even if its an half hearted one
but how do you go about doing that when that isn't exactly what you would agree to normally. how do you do that when you know ratan isn't exactly happy with this ...how do you do it when your head is buzzing and world is rotating and revoling faster than you can grasp it. you do it by trying to find your footing and till then you stay quite and not react...coz you don't know what to react to.
that doesnt mean she too isn't a time bomb ticking to explode or that she doesnt have a limit in this docile behaviour or that she doesnt need a vent out.
We are so used to her being strong that everyone is waiting for that bomb to explode sooner than later😆
i don't think that is being gopi bahu, is it? she is married one day in unhappy and unwanted circimstances to someone who isn't ready for it and being pressured into making the moves left right centre while listening to taunts of age that she cannot at this point even this of countering coz there is too much else going on in her head.
i can make a similar thesis on ratan...but you get the point.
are there some small gaps like how did yash know about all this? yes. but are they big in the way that story or its flow is inconsistent or character reactions (not just DiRa but other major ones) inconsistent? and the answer is no. they are reacting how they would.
i have seen too many stories where the characters are actually butcher and their reactions are no longer consistent. Sanskaar in swaragini was a classical example of this. that isn't what is happening here.. not yet
lets give the maker some breather. only saying this because this is the ONLY show that i have seen where the writers have actually preempted our points and questions and actively answered them in the show quickly enough...like Yash talking about Diya being docile.
