Would anyone care to comment on why Hemingway created a character like Robert Cohn? Was is to show how unobtainable Brett was? Was it a vehicle to demonstrate the anti-semitism of the other characters? Do you think Hemingway is placing a value judgment about anti-semitism, or is he just reflecting the prevailing views of his time? Also, I didn't understand the relationship with Mike and Brett. Everyone accepts that they'll ultimately get married, or at least Jake keeps telling people this, but Mike doesn't seem to be that bothered by Brett's relationship with Cohn or with Romero.
