Uncle Harold : Who was he and how dare he end the summer a month early.

(1/8) > >>

Toast:

Uncle Harold was present in the original story, in the screenplay and in the finished movie.
Who was this man that brought Aguirre up the mountain and then caused Ennis to lose "a whole month's pay".

Was Uncle Harold special to Jack, was he a maternal or paternal uncle?
Or was he just an excuse to get that damn Aguirre up the hill with his binoculars?

This interruption has not been discussed anywhere as far as I can see.

Jack had an agenda, and probably a timeframe.
When he stepped up with his lasso that afternoon, he had a whole month to make up for.  If he had been allowed to have the next month together with Ennis on Brokeback, how would their lives have been different?

Jeff Wrangler:
Uncle Harold didn't cause them to lose a month's pay. It was a storm moving in from the Pacific, stronger than the one that brought the snow on August 13, that caused Joe Aguirre to order them to bring the sheep down a month early.

Pipedream:
Well, as Jack said: his uncle didn't die after all. So Harold is obviously innocent.
We don't know much about this dude. But had he really been the reason for our boys to be driven out of their Eden, he would not only have deserved pneumonia but also an itchy athlete's foot and a nasty cyst on his butt. Yeah, that would've been fair, I think.
