"Robert's Ressurection"


             As a reader, I perceived Robert Cohn as a misunderstood man who is criticized by his "friends" for his ambitious and confident personality. Unlike the other characters who were content to whither away their time drinking in pubs, Robert Cohn was eager and willing to follow his aspirations. It is my belief that if not for Jake's prejudices, Robert would be seen as an extremely passionate, caring and sensitive individual. It is only after Robert has been denied his yearning for life by an unfulfilling marriage and an exploitive relationship with Frances, that the reader meets him. His passion is evident as he undauntedly pursues Brett's affection after falling in love with her at first sight. However, Robert is indeed innocent, and must learn his lessons the hard way. .
             In order to complete the development of Cohn as I envision him to be, I will be bringing him to New York City at a time which directly follows his fist-fight with Jake and Michael, and his being told off by Brett. Thus, Robert is leaving Pamplona a broken man who feels confused and betrayed by his friends and what he thinks is the love of his life. Through changing Robert's environment I intend on illustrating his true personality. The manner in which he will affect those around him, as well as the way in which he will react to New York City will be quite telling. Having grown up in the city, I am hoping to portray the cultural diversity that exists on its streets. .
            
             •Robert's Resurrection
             •.
             After leaving Pamplona completely distraught, Robert came back to an empty apartment in Paris. Having sent Frances to England Robert had no one but Braddocks to confer with; and quite frankly, he had no desire to do so with his literary chum. The next morning while reading the paper, Robert decided that it was time to pick up and leave. He decided almost at once to go back to the States and to get going on his book.
