After all his trying, Jack
failed
to convince Ennis that they could have a sweet life together.

The
gist
of
Brokeback Mountain
:
"
Brokeback Mountain
is the sad chronology of a love affair between two men who can't afford to call it that."

Ennis and Jack were both deeply
harmed
by the experience of falling in love with each other - and the reactions (real and perceived) to their situations.

Ennis was hurt and
insulted
when Alma wanted him to use rubbers because she dreaded another pregnancy, saying that he would be happy to leave her alone if she didn’t want any more of his kids.

"Ledger plumbs incredible depths of feeling to bring Ennis Del Mar to life, perpetually on the brink of crumbling by resisting the notion of embracing himself. Gyllenhaal is the ideal romantic foil, pushing the envelope as far as he dares in a time and place that knows no tolerance for such an arrangement."

Jack
misinterpreted
the meaning of Ennis' postcard after the divorce and drove twelve hundred miles for nothing. In despair he drove to Mexico.

Ennis was quick to
negate
Jack's King-of-the-Road feelings as soon as he realized that Jack thought that now they could be a couple.

A sense of "never enough time, never enough"
overshadows
the ardor of Jack and Ennis's "infrequent couplings."

Ennis "had wanted to be a sophomore, felt the word carried a kind of"
prestige
, "but the truck broke down short of it, pitching him directly into ranch work."
