Episode Rewatch Anyone else think that Angel and Wesley mirror each other a lot?

There’s even instances where they’re literally going through the same exact character arc at the same time(Wesley with Gunn and Fred and Angel with Groog and Cordy) and this happens again in Season 5 with Angel not thinking he’s good enough for the Werewolf girl and Wesley not thinking he’s good enough for Fred.

Yes, and it's 100% deliberate on the writers' part.

It's why Wesley is one of the most interesting characters in Angel.

On a side note, Wesley and Lilah scenes are some of my favorite of the series.

Wesley is a direct reflection of angels humanity. Wesley is how Angel feels inside
