Resolution

"That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it alright" (pg 243).

I feel like the main problem in this book was never solved. Barnes would still do anything for Brett even though she gives nothing to him in return. We never found out exactly why they couldn't be together in the first place. His impotency?? If so, she is very shallow- no surprise! I feel as though the only character who made any progress in his life was Robert Cohn. He was a fool in love, but he finally manned up and decided he had to leave. Therefore, he is a dynamic character, because he was able to change for the better. The rest of the characters stayed pretty much the same throughout the novel, making them static characters. Although they are categorized as static characters, some of them were round characters. Take for example: Jacob Barnes; we were able to see many different feelings and personality traits he possessed. I feel like this storyline is kind of jumpy, and I am still not sure what the climax is. Hopefully, when we discuss the novel in class, I will be able to get a better understanding.
