I was thinking how unlike dean, sam is a self centric character. He has a set of people he like and there is a reason he like them. His love doesn't come unconditional. He is selfish that way and he will cross all moral boundaries to keep them alive. Unlike dean, who except sam, doesn't try to resurrect anyone, no matter how much he loves them. Even when sam is involved, its always himself he hurt. Dean loves unconditionally. He love various people and people love him. But sam is closed off, now if its him personally who doesn't want relationship or people are put off by him, is another question. But sam's friend circle is small and he is possessive of them. Not in a romantic or funny way, in childish and toxic way.
Dean is the focus of it all. He gives sam the undivided attention. He gives sam the love, that makes sam feel he is important. Why would he ever let dean die. He would try to isolate him and make sure he remains in top position, even if he has to kill bobby. He likes Jack, because he sees himself on him. He likes his mom but doesn't like how dean got all attention. He loves his romantic interest because they give him the normalcy he dream of. There is always a reason behind the people he love. If it doesn't serve him a purpose, you as well go to hell.
Kevin part is interesting though. He really could be jealous of him, and the thing about dean asking about kevin, sam would like that kevin isn't involved. So true about adam as well. He was jealous that he got to go college and live a normal life, john didn't say a word and actually allowed adam. The way he was desperate for adam to breakup with his girlfriend. Dean was sad that adam got to have a life, he didn't but sam wanted to snatch it away. He is childish.
At the end, its all about what sam wants for himself. Dean is his closest projection and need. Something tells me he won't be a good father. Dean ii, his son, would serve as a replacement for the need of affirmation he wants from dean, his brother. That guy would desperately search in his son, his brother. The guy who took care of him and will not find him. Because dean ii is a separate character. He won't be a good father, because he doesn't understand what it is like to unconditionally take care. He has always been taken care of and catered to. Poor dean ii will grow with bitterness for his uncle, because his father can't love him for himself, rather a replacement he sees and the needs he project on him.
His love doesn't come unconditional.
That is a very good point and you are right, IMO. It’s very conditional.
Good points throughout, nonnie.
