As Ennis got drunker, he became the upsetter of campfire utensils.

Rather than riding back to the sheep in the wee hours in a drunken condition, Ennis decided it would be better to grab forty winks and return to the herd at first light.

In a FAQ posted on her website, Annie Proulx, she wrote that "Brokeback began as an examination of country homophobia in the land of the Great Pure Noble Cowboy. Years of accumulated observation went into the story.

About the story's main characters, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, Proulx said they affected her long after the story was published, and the film version rekindled her feelings for them — an attachment that she had previously rejected. In an interview in the Missouri Review, Proulx called the notion of falling in love with fictional characters "repugnant," but in a note on her website she reconsidered her earlier assertion: "There is one lie in [the Missouri Review] interview where I said I had never fallen in love with any of my characters. I think I did fall in love with both Jack and Ennis, or some other strong feeling of connection which has persisted for the eight years since the story was written."

Ennis was snug as a bug in a rug once he joined Jack in the tent.

Jake Church would make his big-screen debut playing Bobby, age 10, in Brokeback Mountain.

Randall would steal a glance at the Benefit Dance at Jack, who looked so dapper in his leather jacket and tight-fitting pants.

Youngster Ennis learned empirically that living like Earl did with Rich could mean ending up in a ditch.

Although Ennis wanted to dismiss it as fluff when Jack's reach touched his stuff, Ennis was gruff, but soon couldn't get enough.

"[Jack's] courting and marriage to Lureen is, like Ennis’s marriage to Alma (Michelle Williams), an expression of his bisexuality, but
like Ennis he is driven more by the demands of normativity and security -- for Jack, the gambit more or less pays off and he is uneasily integrated into the wealthy Newsome family."

-- Christopher Sharrett, "Death of the Strong, Silent Type: The Achievement of Brokeback Mountain"
