Flat Character


Lady Brett Ashley is a flat character. Brett can be described in about two character traits: flirty and selfish. She always has to have a lover, and one is never good enough. She can't stay with one man for too long before she gets bored. If she is attracted to someone, she makes it her goal to make them want her as well, and every man falls in love with her regardless. She puts herself before everyone else. "I've always just done what I wanted" (pg 188). She expects everyone to do as she says, and they do. Barnes: "Anything you want me to do?" Brett: "No, just go to the fight with me" (pg 211). She used to be one of my favorite characters at the beginning of the novel, but not anymore. Now, I just think she is an annoying hooker.
