Lena Hatun is a difficult woman to discern, there is something enigmatic about her and we haven\u2019t quite been able to fully comprehend her character. She is beautiful, talented and resourceful, and we have seen the caring side to her as she is a healer\/doctor. However, despite her positive attributes, she has a bit of a gloomy aura which doesn\u2019t make one feel at ease with her presence, or fully trust her.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

When she first arrived, we thought she may be a good friend and support to Bala, and they would pair up against Hazel\u2019s evil plots. Disappointingly she paired up with Hazel instead and even that was interesting to watch because she didn\u2019t fully trust Hazel, but her own personal ambition made her think she would be better of working with her and saw Bala as the threat.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Lena is a practising Christian, married to a Muslim and living in a Muslim dominant tribe. This dynamic nicely demonstrates the inter-faith relations and marriages that were very common in those times. What\u2019s also interesting is that she has brought up her son as a practising Muslim. This aspect of her character and storyline is fascinating as it illustrates how inter-religion marriages used to work cohesively because there were a lot of similarities in the culture such as family dynamics, social values and norms. For example, even though she isn\u2019t Muslim, she dresses like the Muslim women because Christian women at that time used to wear similar attire, therefore easier to assimilate and adapt.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The biggest gripe with Lena is how she riled up Savci and did her very best to negatively influence by turning him against Osman. We got to see her ambitious and evil side actually but this was short lived and her plans didn\u2019t come to fruition. Interestingly, after being defeated in her game, she actually stopped and didn\u2019t pursue her ambitions any further. Well at least that is what has been shown to us as the audience. If you can\u2019t beat them, it is better to join them right? However there are still some doubt in our minds. Has she seen the light and truly come to the right side and joined forces with Bala and Osman, or will she continue pursuing her own ambitions secretly with help from Flatius perhaps? Time will tell.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Her best performance so far in the series was probably when her son, Beyhoca, was kidnapped. Her acting was brilliant and she perfectly portrayed all of the emotions a loving mother would. We got to see her tender side and weakness. Some may think it was ridiculous of her to go to the enemy\u2019s den to rescue her son, but she acted as any mother perhaps would. Also to take it a step further, she was willing to sacrifice her own life and was even ready to take poison for it.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Mixed feelings about Lena Hatun, and her overall character hasn\u2019t been that impressive so far, in fact it has been a little underwhelming. There is always hope for improvements in the upcoming episodes and it would be great to see her character develop and have a more gripping storyline. (Also wish she changes her outfit and wears a different colour as it\u2019s kind of boring seeing her wear the same colour throughout the series so far!)<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

PS- This review was written right before her epic character transformation after her son Beyhoca died and she converted to Islam. Her performance when her son died, her conversion to Islam, and then ultimately when she lost her husband Savci, was absolutely marvellous and deserves a separate review!<\/h4>\n
