Until this thread I never had the idea that sending Ennis to Jack's room is directly connected with the shirts, but it surely make sense.

Yeah, especially considering how unsurprised she seems to be that he wants to take the shirts with him.
If she had no idea of the shirts importance, it seems to me, she would have thought it a bit..weird that this guy comes along and wants two old, bloody shirts.

Artiste, From my perspective I dont think Mr Twist saw Ennis bag the shirt.
Mrs Twist, well I think she let Ennis have it cause she saw his love for Jack.

I say: din't Mr. Twist love Jack too?
Or he would not have let Ennis have that bag?
Au revoir,
hugs!

Exactly. It was Ennis Jack kept talking about all those years.
I don't think sending Ennis upstairs was a kind of test for Ennis from Mrs. Twist, along the lines of "If you're the right one, you'll find the shirts"
I think she sent him deliberately upstairs because she knew he was the one and she wanted him to find the shirts.

I agree completely. Jack visited his parents right after the summer on Brokeback Mountain and he confided in them. When Ennis said he'd be proud to take the ashes up to Brokeback Mountain, those were the words Mrs. Twist was looking for. And conversely, Mr. Twist was NOT looking for, as he replied in a hateful tone of voice, "I know where Brokeback Mountain is."
I would also have to say that, no, Mr. Twist did not love his son Jack. No loving parent would treat their child the way he did or talk about him that way, especially after he was deceased and unable to defend himself.

Merci Loreen:
I believe that mentioning Randall in front of his parents was an act of despair, not of real affection for Randall or even a slightest possibility that he would come to live in LF!

Loreen, I think you are right.
May I ask to you and to all:
Did you ever think that Jack's wife was a lesbian, and that would colour Jack's life?
Artiste:
Merci Front-Ranger !
Can you consider the contrary that Mr. Twist loved or like Jack?

Somehow, maybe we can think of what happens, how one feels, after someone dies ?? The STAGES of grief??
