Hey BetterMostians
,
another week coming around and here is another TOTW.
But first, a big thank you to everybody who participated in the TOTW questionnaire over the last two weeks!
Your FB and ideas are very helpful.
This week I'd like to have a closer look at the fact that Ennis keeps rejecting people close to him, people who love him and care about him.
Foremost, there's Jack who repeatedly proposes to Ennis, only to be rebuffed every time: „You gonna do this again next summer?“, prayer of thanks scene, post divorce scene, etc.
Ennis also rejects Alma: refusing to look for a better payed job, no vacations for her and the girls (story only), staying in the apartment (story only), no going out to the church social or the Knife&Fork with her and Jack, etc.
Ennis declines Junior's wish to live with him
He dumps Cassie without even telling her.
Pretty much a pattern here.
What other examples come to your mind? Why do you think Ennis keeps rejecting people?
