Serials telling about the life of the Ottoman sultans and their concubines are doomed to success. At least in Russia. Yes Yes! Therefore, the “Magnificent Century” and “The Sultan of My Heart” have high ratings from the first episodes. But why? This question was answered by a family psychologist Ksenia Ulyanova.
Women love TV shows
If men, especially at the age of 50 years, perceive the series as soap operas, then with the beautiful half of humanity is another story. Women, in principle, love to watch telenovelas, writes Rambler.
“As a rule, ladies choose romantic series,” explains our expert. - In such tapes, the heroes overcome various obstacles and then stay together. Like a fairy tale: they lived happily ever after. That is why TV shows do not lose their popularity.
When it comes to multi-part tapes about sultans and harem, where love is associated with a lot of competition, it is of more interest. Here there are intrigues, and machinations, and female envy, and competition in a form different from the usual Russian woman.
For example, in reality, the girl is waiting for a nice man to pay attention to her, and in the sultan's harem she should prove herself and influence the choice of the person she likes. Therefore, serials associated with oriental fairy tales cause a lot of emotions, ”Ksenia Ulyanova commented.
The dream of a strong and reliable man
No matter how strong and self-sufficient a woman is, in her heart she dreams of trying on the role of a weak girl. Series about the sultans help beauties feel defenseless.
“In the image of the Sultan often appears a strong, strong-willed man who is able to protect. He has power. He is not constrained in finance. In a certain sense, this is a type of a real man, and therefore causes great sympathy in the female part.
Can the love of such serials talk about the subconscious desire to be in a harem? Perhaps some women really feel the desire to be in a situation where she will be forced to express herself to be chosen.
But most of the girls do not want a harem, but they want to be the one at the sight of which the heart of a strong man melts. After all, stories about the sultans and concubines tell about the obstinate and unruly girl who can fall in love with the main character. Therefore, Russian women dream of being in her place, ”the family psychologist continues.
Life in a harem is not for Russians
But no matter how beautiful the series - life dictates its own rules. In reality, the harem history is not for the Russian mentality. At least, the expert of the Teleprogramma.pro portal thinks so.
“In our mentality there is a reference point for relations with one man, and this man should have one woman, not a harem. Interest is fierce competition. We are interested in how events will develop in such a situation, how a Russian woman would behave surrounded by rivals, how she would seduce the Sultan. But to immerse ourselves in the harem life is not our history, ”summed up the expert.
