Ennis could not
overcome
the fear and shame taught to him by society, and now he wears a jacket just like his father wore.

Jack's
perseverance
was very commendable - he put up with Ennis' lack of commitment for years; he kept going back to him even though Ennis did not want to publicly acknowledge their relationship.

The
quietude
of Jack and Ennis' time together is exemplified by the flashback scene's dozy embrace.

The soon-to-be previous owner says,
"Give em to the real estate
shark
, I'm out a here," dropping the keys in Ennis's hand.
[the first dialogue in the novella]
Sorry, but I just had to "jump the shark".
I hope it is a good omen for us.

L.D.: "Whoa, now, Rodeo...the stud duck does the carving around here."
Jack: "You bet, L.D. Just thought I'd save you the
trouble
."

When Heath (as Ennis) was gagging in the alley, it irritated his
uvula

Ennis and Jack had to make sure that the sheep did not
wander
away and become separated from the flock.

Annie Proulx in "Getting Movied," from
Story to Screenplay
:
"High lonesome situation, a couple of guys --
xpediency
sometimes rules and nobody needs to talk about it and that's how it is."
