Merci Front-Ranger !
Can you consider the contrary that Mr. Twist loved or like Jack?
You say:
I agree completely. Jack visited his parents right after the summer on Brokeback Mountain and he confided in them. When Ennis said he'd be proud to take the ashes up to Brokeback Mountain, those were the words Mrs. Twist was looking for. And conversely, Mr. Twist was NOT looking for, as he replied in a hateful tone of voice, "I know where Brokeback Mountain is."
I would also have to say that, no, Mr. Twist did not love his son Jack. No loving parent would treat their child the way he did or talk about him that way, especially after he was deceased and unable to defend himself.

Somehow, maybe we can think of what happens, how one feels, after someone dies ?? The STAGES of grief??
