Bears

I think out of all the Berzattos- Carmy truly shows the traits of a bear. and it's often shown in his relationship with Sydney.

Cousin Michelle explains the biologist said bears are..." kind and-and sensitive and devoted and also, um, altruistic and empathetic and-and very commonly known to be adept at grieving? "

Stevie: Is this true?

Michelle: How the fսck would I possibly know? I-I couldn't tell if this bitch was trying to fսck with me or not.

Stevie: Did you say to her, just be kind and empathetic like a bear? Yes, I did.

Richie: I share a lot of those traits, actually. It's important to note that bears are incredibly aggressive.

Stevie: How are you related to them again?

Richie: Through friendship.

----------

Stevie: I was thinking about what you said about bears. They're aggressive, but they're kind. They're sensitive.

Carmy

-Grief; As Carmy is our main character, we witness his intense experience of grieving- he's adept at it. I think by the end of season 2, Carmy was in the bargaining stage, and this season, he was experiencing depression.

Sensitive and Kind: An example of sensitivity is giving Tina his knives and gifting Sydney a chef jacket to boost her confidence. he also took the time to validate Sydney's feelings.

Altruistic and devoted: I'm just saying...He shows his devotion to Sydney by prioritizing her needs over his own, even going so far as to get a star despite his discomfort with the feeling. he's driven with hate for Chef David but also wants to get Sydney the things she wants and apologizes when he believes he hasn't met her expectations. Example: He apologizes to Sydney when she tells him in 3x09 that things have been off between them for some time. He feels he failed her.

Aggressive: He's addicted to chaos, and (he can be both hostile and forceful in pursuing his goals. He's aggressive towards other people. I don't need to explain much about this- with Sydney it's where he slips into conflict with her but afterwards goes back to being kind and sensitive.
