Today, I read Review about Fiesta - Ernest Hemingway on Mouthshut.com – The Consumer Review Website
To love and be loved and yet not to get the fulfillment; never to realize the satisfaction of it. There are people who do everything possible to keep their loved ones at ease; who love them like nothing else exist on the face of the earth, worth deserving of their love – yet their partner leaves them. Then there are those, like ‘BRETT’, who get all the love and care from their partner and still they can’t resist the attraction of others; they are wandering minds who are destined never to get fulfillment. ‘Fiesta’ is a story of Love, Hatred and Passions of such people, of both kinds, and of many other kinds, not mentioned.
Jake Barnes, the protagonist and the narrator of the story, is an American Journalist living in Paris. Jake is sexually impotent due to some injury that he acquires in war. Jake loves Brett, his one time girlfriend but now separated, because of his impotency, on his part, and her dissolute nature towards other men, on her. Jake still love her and it shows in his care and protectiveness towards her. He is the one Brett always relies on, in times of need. He drinks, but he’s not a drunkard.
Brett Ashley is the only female character of the story and apparently it revolves around her. She, apart from being the ex-girlfriend of Jake, is the love interest of almost all the chief male characters in the story. Brett lives life on her own terms and enjoys it to the fullest. She never hesitates to hang around with multiple men simultaneously and often breaks their hearts. She’s engaged to Mike. She drinks quite a lot.
Mike is Brett’s to be husband, from their attitudes it seems to be more of a compromise type of relation. Mike doesn’t seem to mind Brett’s unfaithfulness. He’s a bankrupted wealthy man and a biggest drunkard of them all and he doesn’t mind spending all money he’s left with on boozing and hang in around. He hates Robert Cohen.
Robert Cohn is one time boxer and now trying his hand at writing. He is secretive and mean in nature. He is also in love with Brett, and is ready to leave his soon to be wife for her. He follows Brett everywhere and is the object of hate of all for it and also for being a Jew, and I ain’t sure whether I dislike him more or pity him more. He don’t drink that much.
RATING: 3/5
