Did Greg really like Rachel?


Would you say that Greg later in the film developed feelings for Rachel? I'd like to say he did. But I've asked other people their thoughts and some seem to disagree.

Well we do know that he wanted to cuddle with her and go to prom with her but i'm still not sure if it was meant as a way to comfort her rather than anything sexual. But i think the fact that he never showed that short film of the mouse (?) being stomped on by a reindeer (?) whenever he was in contact with other girls might imply that he never liked her in that way. But i think thats one of the great aspects of this movie - that we just can not be certain

In the book he is very much sexually attracted to the "hot girl" (Madison?) that suggests they make the movie while he obviously loves Rachel very much as a friend but not romantically. I think that carried over into the movie but can understand that it was less obvious.

I don't really think so. I always thought it was almost more than that, in that it was just a pure respect and platonic love for one another.

he's obviously a homosexual

It seems as though their relationship was consummated with her death...

Romantically? Clearly not.

reply

He realizes that he does love her, that is why he ditches Madison and the prom for her. However, he is too immature to know what love is, so it isn't a romantic love but it isn't just friendship either
