Kurt & Karofsky

[switch842]

Just as a general curiosity, what are y'all's opinions on how Karofsky feels about Kurt? Do you think he's in love with Kurt in some weird fashion? Is it just that Kurt is the physical manifestation of what he hates about himself?

Me, I think I'm of the second mind. I don't think Karofsky is necessarily "in love" with Kurt. Yes, the kiss happened. But I do think that maybe it just stemmed from a situation where he just had all these feelings and didn't know what to do with them so they all got unleashed on Kurt. If that makes sense.

So, what so you all?

BTW - I'm pretty much spoiler free for tomorrow's episode. So, if you know specifics of what happens that has bearing on this, please do not say. Thanks!

I think it's possible that Karofsky is attracted to kurt, but not in a traditional way. I think that secretly karofsky is jealous of kurt, because kurt is what he can't be.

Deep down, Karofsky wants to be at peace with himself and his sexual orientation but he can't quite manage it. Meanwhile, here's kurt, who's not only out of the closet, but is vocal and proud about who he is. Not only that, but Kurt has found acceptance with his friends and (perhaps most importantly) his father, which is something that Karofsky can't have.

The whole confrontation in the locker room was kinda like rubbing it in Karofsky's face, you know?

And random factoid, did you know the guy who plays Karofsky (Max Adler) had a 4.0 in high school? True story.

I think that's where a lot of it is for me, too. And the jealousy thing. If this guy who's a nobody by high school standards can be happy with who he is why can't he?
