Names of main characters
Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley
Introduction
Barnes, an American young man, suffered a spinal injury in World War I and lost his sexual ability. After the war, while working as a reporter in Paris, he fell in love with the British Mrs. Ashley. She pursued pleasure blindly, and he could only borrow alcohol. To shed sorrow. The two went to Pamplona, ??Spain, with a group of male and female friends to participate in the bullfighting festival in pursuit of spiritual stimulation. The lady rejected the pursuit of the Jewish young man Cohen, but fell in love with the 19-year-old bullfighter Romero. However, after getting along for a period of time, due to the huge age gap between the two parties, and Mrs. Ashley could not bear to ruin the future of the innocent young man, the relationship ended sadly. Madame eventually returned to Barnes, although both parties knew that they could never truly be together. This is Hemingway's first novel. The author became the spokesperson of the "Lost Generation" and created Hemingway's unique writing style with this book.
