why do we like bad turned good? - Page 2

Very thought provoking question Lakshmi…..and pj u raised some good points.....

When a bad person turning good we have more respect for him/her….it means that he has fought his demons and emerged victorious…..also if it is the love of someone that has caused this positive change in one's personality then, it is interpreted as a good sign for the couple……usually we do look forward to seeing this change in the bad guy and pair him up with the female protagonist….

Exellently said,Ides👏👏👏

I think every woman loves the idea of a man who decided to mend his ways for her sake. Mind you Im not saying he 'changed'. The basic personality of a person can never change. Its just that thanks to her the good in him is more prominent now.

While for a person who was always 'good' is good to everyone. His goodness holds no special charm.

Btw changing for the better for love should apply to men and women.

Excellent point Kshreya👏….as the saying goes a leopard never changes his spots….and Annie u raised an excellent issue too abt how we overlook someone's goodness only because they have always been good…..Now that I think abt it, I believe that what we are instinctively looking for is a strong character.

I guess being creatures of change ourselves, we r attracted more towards those who promise this…..this change is seen as the strong point of a person….hence a bad person turned good always inspires respect…..now in most stories, there is no formidable third character for comparison…..even if a third individual is introduced, his personality is shown weaker than the protagonist's…..i.e. he may lack looks, status, is a social hermit, too set in his ways etc.

In JJKN we are already given a strong character in Purab who is not lacking in any way, has always been good, who already has what we'd want to see Armaan grow into….In addition Armaan's flaws are not only high lightened, but his character is also portrayed as being inferior to that of Purab's…

Now while we will respect Armaan should he turn over a new leaf, the fact is that his character will never reach the destination where Purab is at…..the reason being that while Armaan has changed for the better, so has Purab. (he has altered his life to accommodate Jassi)….put into the equation the fact that Purab has always been more ethical than Armaan and u have urself a winner……😉

I agree with you completely.For us,something elusive is always seems more attrctive than what we already have.Purab's character is strong & good but it's already there,with or without Jassi.Whereas whatever changes Armaan goes through will be for Jassi only which will be infinitely more precious to her. Here Jassi is also strong but it takes a lot of grit,determination & a constant readiness to accept any kind of challenge to be what Jassi is today.A girl like her will always be attracted to a guy who provides her with constant stimulation & also keep a check on her overbearing attitude which is a natural though unfortunate fallout in such cases.And for that both she and Armaan have a lot in common and they are an ideal couple because both of them will always need a system of checks and balances to keep the other from going over the top.

whew..one of these dayz i am gonna have to sit with my dictionaries and grammar books to fathom your writing.Great going people!!!👏👏👏

excellent question lakshmi.....yes,it is commonly seen that people rather fall for those who are bad and then transformed in to good.Well that maybe b'coz they feel special that they could change his/her life because of their love.

why did jassi like armaan??as a newly employed person..jassi did'nt know anything about armaan(personality,character etc)it was just his looks and spontaniety that attracted her.

as for jassi..she is also pretty inconsistent and indecisive about things.She needs someone like purab who is stable and can handle her at all times.When she is sad she needs someone who will boost her morale and not someone who pulls down her confidence level.At office she already works within ppl who don't like her much,so i guess she needs someone who loves her from the bottom of his heart.

who that person is ......well afcourse purab.

Well,whatever the reason for wanting Armaan or Purab for Jassi,the bottomline is,we ultimately want what we want no matter what!!!😉

😆now that u put it that way it ofcourse makes perfect sense😉
...there is no sense in trying to sense what someone else senses😆

everyone has good points here...

It is important to remember that every one feelings are involved and respect them for that and I think any relation can be better when we respect others feelings.

Another important aspect in any relation is that we need to compromise at some stages to some extent. If not no relation will last.

It is key to have faith and understanding and communication is biggest factor that should remain between couples all the time.

I think atleast we (group members) are learning better from these serials.

I sometimes get worried what are they showing and what will the younger generation learn(though I am not old. younger in the sense teenagers and below)....

but I am glad to see the opinions posted here are so matured and good...👏👏👏

Phew!!! Explosive comments Folks. Each said what their thoughts are on this subject and i am totally impressed with you guys!😊

Indeed,Smisha we all in the end have to accept other's and self flaws to make a relationship work as Nobody is perfect. Understanding each other is the key and having communication with each other.

Mostly we are showed what the makers feel is right although we at many times don't agree with their logic. Kajal went back to Arjun because of the baby.

At first we were showed that Pooja disliked Ronit but now they are show that Ronit and Pooja are beginning to like each other.

So in the end its the makers show us what they find is correct dispite we may not agree with their way of thinking.
