Manasi, when you wrote that Prem boasts that he has deflowered eight virgin girls out of which 6 ***** girls,an idea came to my mind that there may be two reasons for it
1. The author Indian sub male himself has been deceived by some ***** girl & he is taking revenge by depicting character behavior of Prem as such, being revengeful .
2.Prem as a character had been revengeful of ***** girls because of some past history of his parents.
          Any way good sub conscious analysis without a Freudian language being used.Sex problems finds a narration &its solution as well  in a simple non abusive language. hats off to you Manasi.
hoping for next wonderful update.Again thanks.

Sigmund Freud. id, ego and superego.

His theories are not above controversies. He talked about conscious and unconscious minds.

I personally feel his theory is not adaptable in many situations. The more you learn the process of controlling mind, the more his theories deviates. Attractions of daughter to father or son to mother is well explained in his theory, though alternate explanations can always be brought in. Upbringing, culture and education can always prove him wrong. Deliberately I avoided Freudian language as Kavita character could not be properly explained in Freudian language. (Lack of my limited knowledge.)

Prem character is not complicated. As you have explained, definitely both explanations well suite Prem character. The character is egoistic, dishonest, coward, failure in life, devoid of proper education, lack of love & respect to self and others.  A typical character plenty found around us with some variation. He was revengeful against Brammhin women as described in original story. The reason could be anything.

For me Kavita is more complicated and I don't think I have done proper justice to the character. She also could be a victim of psychological aberration (a very complicated one matching with Freudian language). I preferred to follow the easiest path.

Thanks for your well thought diversification.
