Gladys lived or walked the vow of for better or for worse,even though she tasted the worst part of the same vow.She portrayed a persevering woman,devoted and faithful to her family that she even forgot to live for herself in the midst of building her family. Gladys continued to love Melusi even though she knew that she wasn’t Melusi’s first choice,maybe she was hoping that with time he will choose her.She stayed hoping and trusting that her love might change Melusi and tame his heart.It is clear that Gladys was ready to go into any extent to be loved by Melusi and to stay married to him.
However,even if love is blind it can not be blind forever.Women have a special gift of transforming any place into a warm and welcoming one.The opposite can also happen when there’s a woman around,maybe that is the main reason why Melusi stayed with Gladys for such a long time or maybe he was scared of being alone.Kudos to Thembi Seete for making Gladys relatable in our society.She left no stone unturned in revealing who Gladys is.She is indeed and epitome of greatness and a talented actress.
Gladys is the one who needed to take the decision and stick to it.What the writers are trying to portray with Gladys is that the victim needs to know that there life outside what looks like a comfort zone.The situations needed to wake Gladys up in her web of lies and for her to see the truth and gather the strength of choosing herself.It is clear that she has a long way of learning who Gladys is without being defined as the wife of Melusi.She has allowed herself to be defined by her marital status that she lost her identity along the way.Thembi is indeed a talented actress her fans have a love and hate relationship for her character.See the link below:
What awaits for her in this new journey only time will tell.Once again kudos to the writers for showing that once the environment is no longer conducive one should leave that environment.Gladys has been sacrificing her self in the name of marriage and love.Finally it has dawned to her and she is taking charge of her life outside Melusi.Will her journey be easy no one knows.
