although Aguirre was not happy about what he saw of Jack's and Ennis's sexual activities, he was much more concerned about making a profit from the sheep. his anger stemmed from the poor job the boys did that summer in taking care of his investment. I don't think that one can understand Aguirre without first and foremost seeing him as a businessman in need of a return on his investment.

Ennis always wanted a boy ?
Any proof of that wanting?
Hugs! Or is that because Ennis seems very damn real to us and we imagine him wanting a male child, since he has girls only with Alma... as his children ?? !!

I read it that he did not want kids because it would be more tying.He certainly has sex with Lureen early on.After that seems to stop.Hence presumably only one child.

there is an entire thread on this web site devoted to the fact that the timeline established in the film concerning Lureen's pregnancy with Bobby is such that Bobby can not be Jack's child. I remain convinced that Bobby is not Jack's child.
Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!
You say:
one of the prices they would have paid for living together would have been a severing of most of their family ties
.........
Brokeplex:
may I say but Alma lets Ennis see his girls (his children) ??
.......
Hugs!
Artiste:
Thanks optom!
You say about Jack and his child (Bobby) :
He certainly has sex with Lureen early on.After that seems to stop.Hence presumably only one child.

Optom, I think like brokeplex said that is NOT Jack's child! But since Jack is a decent person and amiable, he cares for that child as a father would.
Au revoir,
hugs!
