Foreshadowing

"The boy was nineteen years old, along except for his sword-handler, and the three hangers-on, and the bull-fight was to commence in twenty minutes. We wished him 'Mucha suerte,' shook hands, and went out. He was standing, straight and handsome and altogether by himself, alone in the room with the hangers-on as we shut the door" (pg 167).

I could tell, as soon as I read the description of Pedro Romero, that Brett was going to go after him. Barnes recognizes that he is handsome, and for a man to call another man handsome, you know that he truly must be attractive. Brett has done nothing in this novel, except mess with the minds of men, and I knew that she would do the same with him. As I stated before, she is a "manizer." She seduces them, makes them fall in love with her, sleeps with them, and is done with them. She acts in a way that most women do not. It seems that usually people consider women to be the one who gets attached in a relationship, but not Brett. She hooks her man, sinks him, and lets him go. I feel that its more of the chase for her. She wants him until she has him, then she is sick of him.
