Ernest Hemingway is not known for having good relationships with the women in his life, starting with his mother. Thus, in The Sun Also Rises, the lead female isn't very feminine. Though Hemingway wasn't homosexual, relating to women and making them protagonists was very difficult, and the reflection of this challenge is in almost every piece of literature he wrote. Brett, the flighty but desperately loved female lead, has short hair, speaks roughly, and has a rather masculine name. She is like Hemingway's "bullfighter;" she makes all the men fight and dance for her attention. Jake, the "steer," cannot even contend, and yet he deeply desires a chance at her heart. Hemingway makes her detestable (in her shallow rejection of Jake and her jumping from bed to bed) and desired (in her queue of interested suitors and vulnerability/self-destructive tendencies). This juxtaposition describes a great deal of Hemingway's life; fighting to prove manliness and yet desiring peace and solitude, order and disorder, strength and weakness, etc.
