I was surprised at how much sexuality came up in this novel. As Brett being the only female of importance in the novel, Hemingway portrayed her as this sexually liberated vixen, who has no problem with promiscuity. She was so carefree and had no cares as to how her sexuality had an effect on others, especially Jake. Brett was so caught up on sex that she refused a chance with the love of her life because of him being impotent. But one has to ask, what is a relationship without sex? Is it really that big of a deal to hold out and love someone for other reasons ? Or is it impossible to be in a committed relationship with someone knowing that sex is ruled out ?
