"G" is gentler

John C. Twist is a tough, weather-beaten, testy, critical man.
Mrs. Twist is a gentler, silent, defeated woman.
Ennis can't see Jack in either of them.

Ennis found his and Jack's old shirts from their Brokeback days in a little hiding place in Jack's bedroom closet.

OMT was a boor, but Mrs. T had an intuitive understanding of and compassion for Ennis.

"J" is jeered

Movie Old Man Twist jeered at Jack's never-baked plans:

Jack used a say, 'Ennis del Mar,' he used a say, 'I'm goin' a bring him up here one a these days and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape.' He had some half-baked notion the two a you was goin' a move up here, build a cabin, help run the place.

Then this spring he's got another fella's gonna come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbor a his from down in
Texas. He's goin' a split up with his wife and come back here.
(sarcastic)
So he says. But like most a Jack's ideas it never come to pass.

Despite her namelessness, Mrs. Twist maintains a quiet dignity.

John Twist behaved offensively in spite of (or maybe because of) the civility of his visitor.

Ennis resigns himself to the fact that it's no use arguing with OMT.
