Title: Brett Ashley: The Beauty of It All
Author/Creator: Linda Patterson Miller
Publication Details: Critical Essays on Ernest Hemingway s The Sun Also Rises, pp.170-184
Annotation: Reads Brett s role as central to the novel s themes of appearance and reality, and of self-realization. Refutes Brett as Circe, instead interpreting her as an isolated, alienated, and insecure beauty struggling to free herself of the superficial label placed upon her by others. Analyzes Brett s doomed relationships with Jake and Romero in her quest to become a real person, pointing to Romero as the catalyst in her movement toward self-actualization.
