@DefLeppard - As we all know, Fatmagul went thru the savagery of a brutal gang rape. Post which she was humiliated by her fiance and his parents, accused of baseless, awful cheating charges and then abandoned to face the horrifying post rape trauma on her own. On top of that she was betrayed by her own SIL and subjected to frequent vicious tongue lashes from her from time to time. If that was not enough she was forced to not file the complaint and marry one of those complicit in the crime... a person she didn't know at all and thought was equally culpable in the crime.
Given the rape trauma, betrayal by her childhood friend and fiance, abuse by his family, her SIL's betrayal/continued viciousness towards her, persistent pressure from Yasarans, her trust issues with Kerim given his role that day, her increasing dilemma abt him as she continued to discover a different loving/caring side of him as she gradually got to know him... I mean, given all this, is the mental state she must be in not understandable? Is it not something that shld be compassionately empthazied with? I am saying this because I don't get your saying she doesn't know what she wants and then making fun of it or mocking her for it.
Firstly, I don't agree that she doesn't know what she wants. On the contrary, she has clearly voiced many times what she wants. As she herself said, her priorities right now are - to stand on her own two feet/become financially independent, continue with her healing process thru therapy/counselling support and thirdly getting justice for herself. It's only with respect to her relationship with Kerim that she has been a bit unsure and has been taking tentative steps... and understandably so, given her terrible experience with Mustafa in the recent past, background of the start of her association with Kerim and her general trust issues induced by the trauma of being raped. Having said that, even in her relationship with Kerim, she has been making a lot of progress and has come a long way.
Given all this, as I said above, I really dont get why you think she is not aware of what she wants. Even if she was unsure of what she wanted, wldnt it be understandable given the horrific trauma she has been thru... or rather is still going thru. Doesn't she deserve empathy and understanding given the nature of her ordeal, instead of being mocked at or made fun of. Wld genuinely like to know your thoughts on this
In response to this, can we plz not say that since it's fiction its fine to make fun of the mental trauma of a rape victim to make things lighter (as I have seen this being said in some past comments that I happened to go thru) :P. We all know how, despite it being fiction, everyone has been giving their strongly held views reg diff characters quite passionately and in all seriousness, be it to justify their actions/empathise with them or for doing the opposite :)). Therefore, it being fiction is really a moot point and shld not be invoked only in case of Fatmagul :D
