Ennis wasn’t much of a talker; moreover, he seldom discussed anything
germane
to his and Jack’s gay relationship.

... "Brokeback" is not "about" homosexuality. It is about the
hardships
of love, a universal topic and one completely worthy of exploration by Hollywood.

When he learned of Jack's death, Ennis's grief was
immeasurable

Young Bobbie behaved like a
jackanapes
at the Thanksgiving table when his mom asked him to eat rather than watch football.

Jack, in a better mood now, is doodling on his harmonica. Tries to play Hank Williams's "
Kaw-Liga
."
Ennis (tolerant, smiles) "You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down."
Jack keeps playing.

The startled bear galloped into the trees with the
lumpish
gait that made it seem it was falling apart.

When Ennis was going down the mountain with Jack and the sheep, he felt like there was a headlong, irreversible
momentum

Jack's father-in-law
needled
him whenever he could, particularly when carving the turkey.

Ennis, and then Jack, chose the safe,
orthodox
route through life. A wife, kid(s) and a bit of a job. The fishing came later.

...his yearning for low-paid, long-houred ranch work, his
propensity
to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed, his failure to look for a decent permanent job.......
(From the short story's list of reasons why Alma divorced Ennis)
