Cohn “married the first women who was nice to him” but after five years of marriage and three children he found that he lived in “domestic unhappiness with a rich wife” (pg. 4). Since he found his marriage to be futile, he desired to leave his wife. Once the two separated, he found another women, named Frances, to find meaning.

Frances realized his feelings. Jake asked her what was the matter …show more content…
Montoya respected people who he thought were real aficionados, who are those passionate about bull-fighting. He “could forgive anything of a bull-fighter who had afición. He could forgive attacks of nerves, panic, bad unexplainable actions,all sorts of lapses. For one who had afición he could forgive anything.” (pg, 106). Jake thought having the respect of Montoya to be worthwhile. Jake described their relationships as some special secret only shared between real aficionados. But Montoya’s respect faded like many other things do. His treatment toward Jake changed because Jake let Pedro Romero, a respectable bull-fighter and a real aficionado, hang out with drunks “Just then Montoya came into the room. He started to smile at me, then he saw Pedro Romero with a big glass of cognac in his hand, sitting laughing between me and a woman with bare shoulders, at a table full of drunks. He did not even nod” (pg. 141). At this moment, Montoya didn’t think Jake was a real aficionado anymore. When Jake was leaving the hotel, Montoya didn’t interact with Jake at all. The respect that Jake thought was valuable disappeared and was reviled to be

He seems to be bipolar and his tone is ever changing; from knowledgeable rationality to angrily aggressive in a split second.

When Singer dies Jake has a very difficult

It shows how Jake is persistent and dedicated to his job, even if it always seems like he is in over his head. Jake, however, also departs from the film noir tradition when he lets his emotions get the best of him. The greatest example of this is seen during the exchange between him and Evelyn when he is trying to find out the truth about Katherine. Resorting for the first time to violence against a woman, the near desperation with which Jake pushes Evelyn to confess is an expression of his fears and anxieties about being completely lost amidst the lies that surround him. The result is the humanization of Jake Giddes’ character. He simply is not perfect, and ultimately fails to see the bigger picture of what he is involved with until .

Romero’s bull-fighting gave real emotion, because he kept the absolute purity of line in his movements and always quietly and calmly let the horns pass him close each time” (Hemingway 171). Pedro Romero’s bull-fighting style was not exaggerated and staged like the others, but just what it should be which makes it real. Jake gives Romero many compliments and even invites him to drink together; meanwhile he merely ignores all the other bullfighters. This shows that Jake likes Romero as a person, not just because he is a bullfighter.
