Give Satisfaction

Relatedly, his relationship with Bertie also has its own kind of symbolism for me. Growing up I always had crushes on teachers and other authority figures, and I still find imbalanced power dynamics/abuse of authority to be really hot. The idea is basically, if someone has a lot to lose by pursuing a person who's off-limits, but then goes ahead and does it anyway, they must really, really want to, and that kind of uncontrollable desire is very captivating. Jeeves and Bertie have so much working against them ever getting together that they have to really, really want each other in order for it to happen.
