In the next scene, Nate is shown sexually harassing Jules Vaughn, portrayed by Hunter Schafer. He uses misogynistic slurs routinely, and his disturbing lack of morals is established rather quickly - within the first episode of season one, narrator Rue Bennett, played by the aforementioned Zendaya, informs us that he attempted to assault her during their first-year formal. He’s aggressive, ruthless in the pursuit of his goals and has a brooding presence. While we can't diagnose Nate with anything, many of his actions fit into this, and on the surface, it seems to be the perfect descriptor for him. Psychopathy is defined by having “deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy and poor behavioral control” that leads to “criminal behavior," according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Though Nate is still developing as a character in real time, here are some of his most interesting psychological facets. As much as he is intelligent, cunning and a master manipulator, he’s deeply tortured, insecure and unaware of who he truly is. While the other characters have more clear-cut reasons for their behavior, Nate’s actions seem to contradict one another. Even Elordi, who plays Nate, was surprised by the depth of his character’s morbidity. He dates it girl Maddy Perez, played by Alexa Demie, making a power couple who are well known at school and consistently attend notorious college-level bangers.īut Nate is not all that meets the eye. On the surface, Nate seems to be the classic, a**hole hot-shot football player of the high school.
After all, who doesn’t love a 6-foot-5-inch, hot, brooding jock? Nate Jacobs from "Euphoria" is Hollywood’s favorite villain at the moment, and actor Jacob Elordi is the prime face of the show next to Zendaya.
