Jack went away several times a year to meet up with  Ennis way the hell out in the middle a nowhere, whereas Lureen was considerably more homebound.

"Several reviews call Brokeback a Romeo and Juliet story with a same-sex twist. But Ennis in his indecision feels more like Hamlet."

Alma's maiden name was Beers, but her husband loved the beverage and his old drinking buddy more than his new wife.

"N" is napped

On lazy summer afternoons, Jack napped contentedly in the open air in the company of an equally content blue heeler.

"P" postman

Ennis picked his mail up at the post office. However appropriate, no postman brought him back the card with "deceased" stamped on it.

Jack's boots could not be repaired as stated in the short story: "worn to the quick, holed beyond repair."

"S" is soil

"T" is toiled

Ennis toiled hard to provide for his family, but a couple of times a year he just had to meet up with his lover
in the clean air of the Grand Tetons.
