The Story Progresses

• The story is set in Paris where Jake Barnes and
  all of his friends spend a lot of time relaxing,
  talking, and in many cases drinking. Though they
  seem to be having a good time, Jake is actually
  miserable. They all plan to take a trip to
  Pamplona, Spain for a festival and the
  bullfights.

Taking the Trip

• They set out for Spain. Once they get into Spain,
  they stop in a small town and stay for a few
  days. While there, Robert Cohn, Jake, and another
  friend go fishing. They enjoy their time fishing
  while they wait on Lady Ashley and her fiancé to
  arrive. This is where the story takes off.

The Plot Thickens

• Jake finds out that Lady Ashley had been romantic
  with Robert Cohn and it irritates him. Robert is
  like a leach that just wont let go of Lady
  Ashley. He will not leave her alone and he begins
  to be disliked by most everyone who is in the
  group of friends.

8
The Festival

• Once they arrived in Pamplona, many things
  returned to the way they were in Paris. Though
  things seemed to be fine, the constant tension
  because of Cohn was always present. They talked,
  danced, and of course, they got drunk. Their
  alcohol consumption causes them to say things
  that they would not normally say and it causes
  problems.

9
Bullfights

• While in Pamplona they attend several bullfights.
  The bullfights are a calming experience for Jake
  Barnes. The way the fighters handle the bulls
  seems to be a thing of beauty in the eyes of
  Jake, who loves bullfighting. He is actually well
  known as an aficionado, which means bullfighting
  enthusiast. While there he meets a young fighter
  named Pedro Romero.

Indecisive Ashley

• Lady Ashley enjoys herself in Pamplona, but she
  runs into a problem. The young fighter Pedro
  Romero is charismatic and she instantly falls in
  love with him. Dont forget, she has history with
  Jake Barnes and Robert Cohn. She is also engaged
  to an Englishman. She has to make a decision on
  who she wants to be with.

  and Cohn? Want to find out who Lady Ashley picks
  to be with? Want to find out what they all do
  when the festival is over? I guess you should
