She has short hair like a man and is still attractive to all the men in the book and many of them fall in love with her. Her looks and Jakes feeling towards her are shown in the quote “Brett was damned good-looking.

Lady Brett ,also, is the representation of a post-war woman. By the strength she brings in this novel, breaking the pre-war code of value and role of women, Brett holds a position in this novel which traditional ,at the time, only men held. While Jake is the narrator, it is clear that the main subject of interest is Brett. Her role as the catalyst of the actions defines this central role and mirrors the renew of women after the war. The participation of women in the war, having experienced the same atrocities, gave many of them the claims that led to the first-wave of feminism. Lady

Women of the 1920’s compared to women today are seen as very passive and were usually domestic wives whose main responsibility was to take care of the house and children. But throughout this decade, women were starting to slowly modernize and become more independent. In The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Lady Brett Ashley is somewhat portrayed as “the admirable new woman” of the 1920’s-the woman who openly flaunts accepted conventions of the passive, dependent female role in society and emerges as a positive, inspiring, and risk-taking figure in Paris, Pamplona, and Madrid among the male expatriate artists. In the novel, we see Brett as a modern and somewhat inspiring woman through characterization and the analysis of specific moments

Hemingway portrays the Dream as both an overarching theme of the novel, but also shows us it's failures and quirks through more minor means. Gender dynamics are broken and often swapped between characters- the protagonist, Jake Barnes, is unable to have sex or reproduce, putting him in a more effeminate role as a man who must remain celibate for the remainder of his life. To juxtapose this lack of "masculine identity," Hemingway even places Jake opposite Lady Brett Ashley (Jake's love interest throughout the novel) who self-proclaims herself "one of the chaps." She oftens exhibits what has traditionally been considered masculine behavior. Brett has a rebellious wild streak, smokes and drinks, lacks any religion or fully-formed moral beliefs. She's promiscuous and soon to be a divorcee. Brett seems to emasculate many of the men around her; both because of her self-confident, almost aggressive mannerisms and because of her ability to collect and throw away men at her slightest whim. Lady Brett is everything (or at least many aspects) of what Jake might have been- the strong, self-assured and self-satisfied macho man who believes everything is some

In the book The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Brett Ashley stirs trouble and causes lots of jealousy due to her yearning to be with every man she meets. The theme of love can be seen in almost every chapter of this novel, yet most of the time it is not mutual and Brett Ashley is the one to blame for that. She jumps around to many different men in the book making them all love her, but the next day she has moved on and the boy is stuck with unrequited feelings. For instance, Brett was engaged to be married with Mike. She meets a man called Romero though and swears that she has fallen in love with him. Brett discusses with Jake as she usually does describing her dilemma in chapter XVI. Brett says that when she meets a boy that she likes

In the play, “The Crucible”, many people are killed or lie to preserve a good name. They are hung because they tell the truth about not being a witch.

Some themes are more generalized than others, but the ones that involve the pursuit of happiness are very universal for literature. In the works “Hedda Gabler” by Henrik Ibsen, and “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway, there are many connections that can be made to compare the characters in each. Hedda Gabler and Brett Ashley are the most obvious pair, they share many traits as women in the spotlight. Although both Hedda Gabler and Brett Ashley endure a lot of attention from men, Hedda’s self serving nature reveals that to pursue happiness, manipulating others and causing drama may be necessary; whereas Brett’s disregard for how her actions affect others emphasizes that the road to happiness isn’t easy.
