Ennis, Cassie and the Twists (revised title)
silkncense:
Amanda -
I would think that there would be some photos of Jack somewhere in the house. Too bad Ennis didn't ask for one...maybe his dreams (day & night) were enough.
David - Well that house would certainly be better than that trailer we last see him in.
I feel as I suspect you do, although invited (almost pleadingly), I don't think Ennis went back to that house - not unless he knew John Twist was no longer there.
(We should have started a new thread about this scene as it has moved quite away from Cassie!)
j.U.d.E.:
--- Quote ---He dislikes himself so much that he can't imagine anyone finding it "fun" to be with him. When she says that, I think he realizes that Jack found being with him fun, so to speak, because he loved him.

I totally agree with this! But I have a question (and I forget how it is in the short story), but has Ennis actually 'consumed' his affair with Cassie? I mean, when you see the film, it's not even clear, whether they have ever slept together. Or is it?
I keep thinking about the fact, that Ennis lost his virginity to Jack, then married Alma, had two chidren, continued his relationship with Jack, divorced Alma, kept seeing Jack until Jack's death. No relationship after that (of course we don't know, but that's how the film ends). To me it looks like in his whole life, Ennis has only ever been together with Alma and Jack. I just can't see him in a sexual relationship with Cassie at all (but that's maybe wishful thinking, because I don't like the Cassie character at all.. :-\).

David:
Hi Jude,
Consumated you mean? Yeah, he did. Remember he told Jack he was "Putting the Blocks" to her.
Now I'm taking a guess, but isn't that a cattle reference?. Don't they put a cow in blocks so the bull can come up behind and impregnate her?

It might be a horse breeding reference if not cattle, or maybe they use "blocks" for both.
And that icky wine that he uses to toast Junior's coming marriage is a relic of Cassie.
serious crayons:
And it must be really icky by then, if it's been sitting open in his fridge since the last time she was over. People who see the movie without reading the story must be surprised -- Ennis doesn't seem the white wine type.
I assume he did consumate it with Cassie. They dated long enough that I think she would have wondered if he didn't. But I guess I don't mind that; I like Cassie!
