Very random questions that pop to mind when thinking of BBM:

--- Quote ---I do suspect it might have had something to do with Jack wanting Ennis all for himself, and seeing the girls as an intrusion into his dreams involving Ennis. This idea saddens me, as the children are innocents in all of this, and Ennis clearly loves them with all his heart. Jack's apathy suggests a smattering of selfishness on his part that I don't like to consider, seeing what a tender and nurturing soul he is in so many other respects.

Now now. Not all of us like kids - I sure don't. Can we not have the 'because you don't like kids you must be selfish' thing?

Why didn't Jack show more interest in Ennis's children? This virtual apathy on Jack's part towards the offspring of his lover and best friend has always puzzled me; I know that I would cherish the children of someone who I loved as much as Jack did Ennis.

Don't think I'm awful, but I have some wonderful dear friends who have children, and I haven't the slightest interest in these kids. Can't remember their names half the time. No - we're not lovers, but you'd expect at least some interest on my part. I feel the same way about some kids I'm actually related too as well. Just can't even get a single smidgen of interest toward them.
And for Jack, those kids are Ennis's perfect excuse to never be with him...

Is it OK for the minister to kiss the bride if the groom doesn't fast enough?

Oh, I think that's perfectly OK. Ennis was probably thinking anyway: Hey Dude, you get me Jack F*ckin' Twist and she's all yours, hunh!?

- Where would we all be if Annie Proulx had never penned this beautiful story? :-\

One thing is for sure: we'd all have a lot of time on our hands...
