Jake Barnes and Lady Brett
Lady Brett was one of the main Characters in the book the sun also rises. This book takes place in Paris so I imagine that Lady Brett has either blond or red hair that she would where pinned up with a fancy hat she was probably 5-6 150 pounds with a lady like posture. Throughout the story she was described as a heavy drinker. I would think she would be always wearing some fancy dress and jewelry because in the time period they were in and were the story took place.I also think her attitude is kind of stuck up because throughout the story she seems to think better of herself to people. She and Jake have a little thing for each other but since he was impaired in World War 1 he is not able to have sex which is the reason why she can not express her feeling for him. She is also going through a divorce and being an independent women she goes from man to man, when she hangs out with Jake and his friends at different clubs she acts wild to get men's attention. I think the author named her Lady Brett because it sounds like royality it makes her feel higher up and I dont think the name really suits her because of the way she acts in the story. throughout the story I dont think Brett changed much she was still wondering to different men still unsure of what she wanted.
Jake Barnes
Jake was also an important character in the book I think he was a pretty average height for a man probably around 170 pounds he probably would dress in suits with his hair slicked back he is also the protagonist in the story. I think Jake is one of the few people who actually changed in the book. He fought in WWI and was injured in the groins and was not able to have sex which made complications with him and bretts relationship to grow. As the story countines to go I think he comes to a self realization that its ok that he can still love without being sexual. His current job is a jounalist in Paris.
Robert Cohn
Robert is also a writer but he is wealthy so imagine him to be a little shorter than Jake and probably in much finer clothing than Jake. He is an important part of the story but not as important than Jake and Brett. He is Jewish and often the butt of his friends jokes. He never really fit in because he was Jewish and while in school he took up boxing to get over his self confidence. Since he is Jewish he probably has thick curly hair. To get over some things he decides to take a trip to spain and wants his friends to tag along.
