-... I rather think that all this desire for revenge must have consumed all the feeling of love in him. I heard myself answer - do you really think that a love of the kind that made him lose all self-confidence and made him want to die because he represented nothing in your eyes can disappear like that? The anger he feels towards you is matched only by the love he has for you. His frustration comes from the fact that you didn't love him back and not from the hurtful words you threw at him. Why do you think he spent his time, as Alex, testing the degree of love you claimed to have for him? He wants you to love him as much as he loves you and he doesn't see that all this barrier he puts up to protect himself prevents him from realizing it. But he won't let her down until he knows for sure..
