The Sun Also Rises
Lady Brett Ashley and Frances demonstrate parallels, yet discrepancies during the book The Sun Also Rises. Brett is a young woman who enjoys drinking and nights-out with her male friends. Frances Clyde is a writer who travels to Europe to try and evolve herself into a successful novelist. I believe that Brett and Frances are polar opposites because Brett is carefree and Frances is controlling. Brett and Frances are mostly different, but have some similarities in the book The Sun Also Rises.
Brett and Frances are comparable because they are close to the same age and have both been in serious liaisons. Brett is married and plans to divorce and wed again. Frances was previously engaged to Robert Cohn, before he broke off ties with her. One contrast

    William Adair's The Sun Also Rises

    William Adair's thesis focuses mainly on the central aspect of the novel, The Sun Also Rises, which is gossip. Throughout the novel, The Sun Also Rises, characters such as Jake would spy on others only to have information on the latest. Jake, for instance, was the main contributor about all the gossip, even spreading rumors about his own friend Cohn. Several months had passed before Jake took it upon himself to write a review of Cohn's novel with the intent to find more information to use against him. As readers progress through the novel, they'll slowly realize Jake's stories are not factual as he makes readers turn against Cohn or creates an ugly picture of Cohn's physical appearance. As the story continues Cohn is the most easily talked…

    Don Anselmo and Mrs.Higgins are similar because they both stand up for what they want. They have in common that they are both being strong in the beginning. Don Anselmo and Mrs. Higgins are different because Don Anselmo stays strong throughout the entire story but at the end Mrs.Higgins does not. I would not say they are more different than similar because they both want something better for the kids in their life.…

    Hemingway and Modernishm

    One of the aspects of modernism is “departing from standard ways of representing characters.” In The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway breaks away from the standard representations of characters, most drastically seen in the character of Lady Brett Ashley. First off, this woman has a man’s name, initially suggesting that she is not a ‘normal’ lady. Brett also has traits that are not generally feminine, but rather masculine. For example, Brett is extremely independent, and she tends to have a great deal of power over every man she meets. She is always the dominant one in her relationships, and never commits to any one man, rather she prefers independence. She is manipulating and causes tension between other men, much like traditional male characters. Unlike traditional female roles, she is…

    The Sun Also Rises

    Lady Brett Ashley in The Sun Also Rises has always been regarded as one of Ernest Hemingway’s most hated characters. Both critics and readers have seen her simply as a bitch, and do not view her as a likeable or relatable character in any way. Her alcoholism, her use and abuse of men, and her seeming indifference to Jake Barnes’s love are just a few reasons why Hemingway’s readers have not been able to stand Brett, and do not give her a fair chance. It is clear that Jake is biased in his narration, but no one wants to question his opinions and judgments of Brett; in fact, since the book was published, readers have blindly accepted Jake’s account of her. Likewise, Margot’s character in “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” is also distorted by the male characters, specifically Wilson, and made to look guilty of a crime she did not commit. Although Jake in The Sun Also Rises and Wilson in “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” show Brett and Margot negatively, both women are in fact capable of good qualities, and both represent the idea of the new woman in a positive way.…

    The Sun Also Rises

    Throughout the entire book of The Sun Also Rises, hardly a page goes by without referencing any alcohol. From the very beginning of the book, the main character/protagonist, Jake meets a young prostitute named Georgette and they have drinks together. She states that, “Everybody’s sick. I’m sick too”. Bars, dance clubs, cafes where alcohol is served seems to be a place of escape for a majority of the characters. Jake Barnes, like the other characters, uses the consumption of alcohol to escape what realities he face at home, his lust for Brett, but also to forget the things of his past.…
