SPM ~My Musings ~4.10.19 An uphill battle..
Once again the episode stands out as a reminder of the conventional theme often repeated in fiction. An uphill battle of conflict between virtue and vice. Fundamentally,both good and evil concepts, draw their strands from inspired faith scriptures, or basic human values of morality. By now we have picked up which characters,within the storyline of SPM, represent evil and which ones embody goodness. The popularity of this theme is universal, as we can easily relate to the presence of both good and bad elements in each one of us. Virtue and vice remain very much part of our human conditions. As even within ourselves, two natures are many times at war with each other. Consider the sequence in today’s episode. Evil Kainat is captured and seems at the mercy of Zaroon. The decision he takes will have a bearing on whether the conflict between good versus bad resolves, or one overpowers the other! or the battle between the two wages on!
So here I am, almost anticipating that now that Zaroon has her boxed in the open chest with her gun in his hand, ready to end her life. Only Zaroon decides to purge his weakness of being influenced by her, before Kainat. He blames her for coercing him to kill the love of his life Saltanat !
I conclude in doing so, Kainat easily predicts, he was not man enough to kill her! that his bark was more vicious than his bite! Zaroon makes the choice of delaying the killing. Opt’s instead to let off steam. Let’s her know that she was behind the murders of his family members, Mainjaan, Zainab and his mother. Zaroon is swept by his revenge fury, Wants to give her maximum agony by a slow torturous death, like she tried to give Saltanat! In fact, I think, he veers away from his original plan one shot! and over with her! Instead ,vindictively he gets into the vortex of recreating the death scenario she put Saltanat through!locks her in the trunk with ear phones playing the same song she made Saltanat go through before Zainab saved her!
Zaroon thus and walks away from the boxed up Kainat !! Only Zaroon’s choice of Kainat’s death by suffocation turns out to be her saving grace! Zaroon in fact favours her with life!..borrowed life?
Yes evil is hard to destroy! For as long as it lives, goodness too will battle on to exterminate it. This is life,that virtue and vice side by side, are forever engaged in the uphill task of trying to over power each other. It remains an on going battle. Zaroon’s weakness, of delay, sharpens Kainat’s evil character, supplies, her more fuel for survival. As she is Kainat, diehard vice, is far from being the weaklings her mother and Saltanat were. Their weakness to Kainat was created by their faith and moral binds. Kainat's evil is potent and pure, as it has no effect of faith and morality that is likely change its course of evil! Kainat’s laborious rough beating her sides on the side of the wooden chest symbolizes how she side-lines Zaroon’s death row sentence! and regains her freedom to create fresh havoc for her foe Saltanat . We see a new savagery in her wickedness , as apart from Zaroon, Madhav too now appears to be on Saltanat's side. Kainat,knows, she will now have to fight harder, to finish off invincible Saltanat.
Inner conflicts and struggles between characters representing good and evil continues in the episode.Moral evil, with its wilful aim to harm, hurt and eventually destroy, those who epitomize goodness is set free! in the semblance of Kainat. Madhav too is set free from clutches of his revenge purpose. Evil suffers a set back and good scores a point when Madhav takes on the honourable task of restoring justice to Saltanat , by taking her back to Shah Manzil and Zaroon.! He is prepared its like walking into a den of lions! but he shall be right there beside Saltanat as her guardian angel!
Moral evil continues to attack and spread across relationships in Sharma house. Sneha , Madhav’s almost jealous sibling plans and implements her own revenge, against her brother, by stitching up both Kashish,the bone of contention between Sneha and Madhav to the police. The act is necessary to unfold before Indu how far Sneha goes in her hatred towards her brother Madhav, who now embarks on the path of self-correction and goodness!
Senha’s evil exhaustive scene also has another key purpose. To malign Zaroon against the questionable relationship between his wife and her brother Madhav. Sneha sows the seeds of misunderstanding and doubt about a wife’s infidelity, in a husband’s mind! Another much used theme in fiction. Zaroon will now have to choose whether to believe malicious gossip about Saltanat’s character, or to have faith in his belief that for Saltanat, he remains her only love!
Kainat kidnapping Krish, comes as no surprise. It’s evil sharpening it's knife to continue its battle against goodness. To Kainat , young Krish will used as a hostage, for Madhav to return Saltanat back to her! like the story goes its no other way! only Kainat’s way!
Still the saving grace of the episode is, the forces of goodness, Madhav, Zaroon, Krish and who knows a revived Saltanat, will form an alliance to venture upon the uphill task of battling evil Kainat.
Overall we are much disappointed for having to face the fact that finishing off Kainat from the land of the living is a tiresome and tedious uphill task!! By the looks of it, it will require a concerted effort by both Madhav and Zaroon, over perhaps, even a longer period of time. But in the ongoing conflict between good and evil characters, what needs to be kept in mind is, that both sets of characters, have the power to exercise their choice of free will, regards which path they opt for virtue or vice? So battles may seem won or lost, but the war wages on!!!5.10.19 hamlet53
Incidentally hope the musing does not come across as me moralizing.. its how the episode came across to me keeping a particular theme in mind.
Thanks Irshita, Esha for sharing yourvaluable thoughts, they keep me on board this SPM ship too.. have a greatweekend..love hammie
. The Saltanat you suddenly jump abt is alive thanks to the man you hv the nerves to question, becoz if it was for Zaroon, Saltanat would hv been dead already. Why didnt he question his "flying feathers feelings" when he stabbed her ??? This guy for me is a lost case !!! And the day Saltanat goes back to Zaroon, this show is over for ME.
