Excellent explanation of symbolism with context.
In Freudian theory flower/ rose symbolizes female genitalia/ thorn could be male organ !!!!
thorn also symbolizes difficulties / problems/ diseaeses and so on.
In ASHLOK case - thorn can be the symbol of any thing - Aastha has gone thru a lot struggles / also she had fear of physical intimacy with Shlok initial stage as a inexperienced young girl.. During SR2 / red rose and blood in the finger by thorn prick - definitely symbolizes their first comsumation.
In the last Thorn Pricking scene - Could be the symbol of BARKHA's subconcoius fear of sexual intercourse with the man she secretly falls in love now !!! - She fainted with the poison of thorn - her extreme fear of extramarital relationship !!!
Even after coming back from jungle when she was sleeping continuously dreaming Shlok and the picture of sword with cap was shown - BRAKHA IS PHYSICALLY ATTRACTED TO SHLOK - she is suffering from anxiety and fear of physical intimacy with her secret love !!! - probably guilt feeling as someome's wife / someone's mother in the society!!
