Throughout the novel, Lady Brett has many types of relationships with a variety of people, most of whom are men. Some of these men include Jake Barnes, the narrator of the story, Mike Campbell, her supposed husband, and Pedro Romero. Lady Brett’s laid back, independent, and rather promiscuous life style creates many

“‘Well,’ he said, ‘talk a lot of Spanish?’ ‘He was telling me about the bulls coming in tonight.’ ‘Let’s find the gang and go down.’”(Hemingway 137-138). Bill could have just stopped at “Let’s find the gang” if he wanted to see a bullfight; His friends could stand in for every roll in the bullfight.

Hemingway intended for this story to be about the love

miserable. Jake lost his innocence on the battlefield, and therefore, he always lived his live with a pessimistic outlook, illustrating the disparity between his and Robert’s personality that stemmed from their respective backgrounds. Another way that Hemingway demonstrates the opposite nature of Jake’s and Cohn’s character is through their character progression and development.
