Ernest Hemingway did a magnificent job with making the reader feel like they are viewing the story in first person. The Sun Also Rises is a great masterpiece that can be described as very unique. Mike, Brett’s fiancé, also made a few remarks about how the usual men Brett sleeps with were not Jewish and that they do not stay around afterwards. The statements were made because Jake was jealous of the fling Robert had with Brett Ashley. Even though he is friends with Jake, anti-Semitic comments were made against Robert behind his back. Robert Cohn is a self-conscious Jewish writer. In this book there is obvious and some obscured racism. Robert did not stay around any longer and he left the city the next morning.
When he finally realized that he was not wanted around, he asked for forgiveness and tried to make amends with the friends but only Jake forgave him. He then went to find her and assaulted Romero for being with her. He did this because Jake would not tell him where Brett was. He showed up at the café one evening and took out his frustrations by knocking out Jake and Mike. He would stalk and declare his love for her, but it was obvious that the feelings were not mutual. After his fling with her in San Sebastian, he became infatuated with Brett. He abandoned and cheated on Frances with Lady Brett. Robert has already had one failed marriage so he can be defined as desperate. Robert Cohn is a Jewish man that was unfaithful to his fiancé, Frances. All of the characters were affected by the World War and it undoubtedly still haunts them. The drinking may not have occurred just to pass time, but it also could be used to cover up severe mental depression that came from the hardships they face. In multiple scenarios he calls out Robert for having feelings for Brett. Mike Campbell especially was an extremely rude drunk. This causes the friends to act very indecent and immature in some situations. Everyone in the book at least once has a few too many alcoholic beverages. In this time period, it is not common to drink multiple bottles of wine with a meal. One of the most popular ways to socialize and to pass time in The Sun Also Rises is to drink. Montoya does not even say goodbye to Jake when he prepares to leave Pamplona. He obviously is disappointed in Jake because he felt that out of anyone, Jake should have known how important it was for a bull-fighter to stay focussed during the fiesta. Montoya also did not want Romero’s head clouded before his next bull fight. Montoya told Jake previously in the day that he was afraid Romero would be influenced by the wrong group of foreigners. Unfortunately, he lets down Montoya by allowing Pedro Romero to party with Brett, Mike, Bill, and Robert. This causes them to have a deep connection that no one else shares with Jake. Montoya is an aficionado that loves bull-fighting just as much as Jake does. Montoya is the head of the hotel that Jake and all of his travel companions all stay at while they are visiting Pamplona for the festivities. Jake always seemed to be a delightful and intelligent man until he let down Montoya. This shows that Brett is starting to mature and realize that she can not jump from man to man her entire life. Pedro is just nineteen years old, so she sends him away so that he won’t get hurt by her. She claims she has fallen in love with Pedro Romero.
Unfortunately, this hinders Jake Barnes and her from having any form of physical relationship because Jake suffers from an injury that does not allow him to sexually perform for Brett. Brett understands psychologically that what she does is unjust, but she physically can not stop herself. She thrives on intercourse, which makes it really hard for her to settle down with one partner. Brett can not be faithful to anyone, even her fiancé. She struggles and commits multiple unethical decisions. Lady Brett Ashley is an important character in this novel. All of these indecent acts that were performed may have not been done intentionally, but it left the others involved hurt. Some examples of the characters being immoral include: Brett having unfaithful relationships, Jake betraying Montoya, Robert committing adultery, all of the friends excessively drinking alcohol, and the anti-Semitic comments made towards Robert. Their actions showed that they felt their lives were meaningless and that they had no real purpose. All of the characters in this book commit at least one immoral deed. As imagined, the death and destruction that occurred influenced people to lose their ethical beliefs and sense of hope. People in this time period either served in the war or suffered the consequences that it brought on. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is a novel that depicts unethical choices that are made in the post World War 1 era.
