Descripción
Sumario:This article, focusing on the story «Brokeback Mountain» by Annie Proulx, explores how the relationship of both protagonists, Ennis and Jack, is constructed based on their typically violent environment. The study aims to illustrate under which instances the characters instrumentalise, and which are affected by, each other’s violence in the quest to maintain a romantic bond that is shown to be doomed from the beginning of the story. In this way, it is argued that the love bond between the two protagonists is reinforced through violence.
