Explanation:

What Is Reaction Formation?

When someone gets too dramatic about their opposition of something as a way of hiding how they truly feel about it this is known as reaction formation.

This may cause confusion especially when you like someone like Norm but act as if you extremely hate them.

This occurs due to the fact that a person may inwardly know that those feeling or desires that they have are not welcomed socially as a result they will do whatever it takes to convince themselves and others that they feel the opposite of what they actual inwardly feel and they end up exaggerating the fake feelings.

Norms knows that it is social unacceptable to date a married lady hence he has to convince others and himself that that he hates her.
