"Jack, I swear..." What do you think Ennis meant by that?
Artiste:
Thanks loneleeb3 !
You say think that Ennis was a gay man:
gay but it was so very much more than just that!

but it was so very much more than just that!

I tried to explain it in the post, I guess I didn't do a very good job.

When I think gay I think sexual prefrence and sexuality.
I just think thier love was just so much deeper.

Thanks loneleeb3 !
Deep love between Ennis and Jack, I agree with you.
There seems to be different degrees or different times for that??
What do you say?? By saying Jack, I swear... leaves maybe to believe that too?? You think so??
Hugs!!

Almost like he is in purgatory. The short story in particular seems to end on a note of a nightmare

No matter how many times i watch the movie, and i just watched it again for the umpteenth time......i do not think Ennis is gay, nor do I think, he thinks he is gay.......
He loved Jack, and as far as we can see he was not attracted to other men......it was only Jack.....and I believe the sexual side of their relationship was for Jack, Ennis knew he needed it and that was his way of showing Jack that he loved him and would show him in the way that Jack needed to be shown love.....and I think Ennis also felt, that no one loved HIM like Jack did.....
And the Jack I Swear.......because it came just after his conversation with Alma Jnr, and his decision that her wedding was more important than his job, I think he is saying, "Jack, I Swear, I will never not do anything for someone I love, again"
Just my point of view.....for what its worth......its hard to put into words what Im trying to say sometimes.
