"N" is nameless

For more than fifteen years, Jack and Ennis took in the sights of the mountains, choosing nameless, hidden areas as often as possible.

"O" is observations

Annie Proulx in "Getting Movied":  "'Brokeback' was not connected to any one incident, but based on a coalescence of observations over many years, small things here and there."

"P" is panic

To extend Proulx's metaphor, Jack has unlocked the tumblers of Ennis' heart and in panic Ennis throws away the key.

"Q" is quarreller
« Reply #6993 on: September 02, 2006, 01:00:01 pm »
Ennis became a quarreller when he felt cornered about sexual things.
If he was going to die, he would take someone with him.

Ennis and Jack "had a high-time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes, and a  quart of whiskey on shares...."  [story]

=aside= Will
Yes, you did. And here I was hurrying to post an "R" so you could use one of your "S" words. :)

=aside= Players & Viewers
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.  Happy Labor Day, if applicable.

"T" is thrashing
« Reply #6996 on: September 02, 2006, 01:39:02 pm »
"Jack is a rodeo rider, a guy who lopes and mopes around fairs most of his professional life in exchange for a few seconds of thrashing ecstatically on the back of a bucking steer before being painfully and all too quickly thrown off. The sexual metaphor is not, however, laboured....."
From The Guardian's review:   here

"U" is undisciplined
« Reply #6997 on: September 02, 2006, 07:22:29 pm »
" ... If you looked at the story from another vantage -- the children's -- it would be a different tale altogether: about greedy, selfish, undisciplined homosexuals who took out a contract in the heterosexual world, and abandoned it."

After leaving Jack in Signal, Ennis whimpered in the alley.
