Jake Barnes


Brett looked at me. "I say," she said, "is Robert Cohn going on this trip? "Yes. Why?" "Don't you think it will be a bit rough on him?" "Why should it?" "Who did you think I went to San Sebastian with?
(Hemingway 89)
         Why am I not surprised. Of course she's sunk her claws into Robert as well. Robert was completely infatuated with her at first sight. That fool doesn't understand what Brett does, as much as I love her; she just sleeps around. He's most likely thinking that she holds feelings for him, unfortunately for him, she couldn't care less about him. That what he gets for going after Brett, she's my true love, and she loves me back. Despite my feelings for her, I can't help but feel a bit used sometimes. She always comes to me with her emotional issues, but our relationship doesn't extend past that.
