Adultery Knowing My Wife, Knowing Me As Well - part III

[manasi]

We have no option to read the mind of Meera exactly. But we can extrapolate through her interaction with different characters. She has proved to be vulnerable. She is excited over male attention. She is staying with Krish not because of love but out of compulsion. She has proved herself to be opportunistic. Therefore, there is no surprise that she utilised opportunity to seduce Ashish.

I won't be surprised if it is disclosed in future that nothing happened with Ashish. Quite possible, Meera may be playing with Krish to understand his acceptance over her planned future relationship with Ashish. Before jumping into turbulent water, she is assessing the consequences. Moreover, Ashish as per character build-up, cannot be seduced so easily.

Meera is a good actor and very often tells lies in her favour. So, I don't find any flaw with Meera character, as painted by author.

What pains me is assacination to Krish character. To me, Krish character is flawed and he is forced to behave unnaturally. Krish meeting Desai in his house and then agreeing to hide to witness Desai Maitreyi sex is forced on the character  to make Krish visit Desai house as a thief in future. Author is forcefully tarnishing Krish character to achieve his goal.

Sometimes I feel like Krish is being forced to behave like a cuckold against the natural build-up of the character.  His thought process is not in line with his acts and reactions.

Being an erotica site, eroticism is quite natural and welcome.  But characters in a well built story need not behave unnaturally for the sake of sex.
