Robert Cohn

“For four years his horizon had been absolutely limited to his wife. For these years, or almost three years, he had never seen beyond Frances. I am sure he had never been in love in his life” (Hemingway, 16).

I totally agree with this quote. I, Robert Cohn, am an adventurer. I want to live my life to the extreme before I die. Yes, I was limited to my wife once, but my life is too short to be limited. Frances is a great girl but she’s wants a family and to settle down, but I’m not into that. I want to have mistresses and travel the world. Which is why I wanted to go to South America. The mistress part brings me to Brett. Brett is a storm that will just sweep you off your feet.  She took me up on an offer that would break me. I tried to chase her and make her my mistress, but she wasn’t into being with someone. I told her I loved her, but I wasn't in love with her, I was in love with the adventure. I admit I failed to get her. I've lost my best friend trying to get her. Eventually, I had to go back to Frances, at least she took me in. I think my days of trying to be someone I’m not is over. However, in the end I still have never loved anyone in my life.
