The Jake Barnes Struggle
"'Oh, Jake,' Brett said, 'we could have had such a damned good time together.' ... 'Yes,' I said. 'Isn't it pretty to think so?'" (Hemingway 251).
Really now, Brett? You tell me this after you consistently chased after a flock of men and spun chaos into my life? Listen, babe, I get how you liked pushing me away before running back to me whenever your other playthings were getting troublesome to deal with, but it was getting really dull after the tenth time. I promise that I'll be there for you if you need a shoulder to cry on, but I won't fall for that charm of yours anymore. I don't really think you've changed, Brett and I won't scold you for that; just know that I don't want you anymore.
Jake Barnes
