Perhaps this story has become so famous that m any folks know it anyway. It's difficult to go too deep ly into a short story without revealing everyth ing o f it. One thing never changed: the brilliant charge of their infrequen t couplings was darkened by the sense of time flying, n ever enough time, never enough. Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages. H owever they manage alone, it is with each other that they find solace through annual vacations. Jack copes through dreams and aff airs that the reader usually has to infer rather than experience. Ennis copes with this by living the life expected of him hi s relationship with Jack the only exception. They are both caught by a time and a community that won't tolerate an open relationship between two men.
Jack, I don't want a be like them guys you see around sometimes. When they finally connect again, both havin g married and started famil ies, their feelings for each other have not diminished in the slightest. The two men do not live near each other and don't see ea ch other for four y ears after that first summer. Within a mile Ennis felt like someone was pulling his guts out hand over hand a yar d at a time.
they shook hands, hit each other on t he shoulder, then there was forty feet of distance between them and nothing to do but drive away in opposite directions. Their passionate summer spent toge ther begins a decades long covert relationship. Their friendship develops almost immediately and later progresses to intima cy. Ennis, riding against the wind back to the sheep in t he treacherous, drunke n light, thought he'd never had such a good time, felt h e could paw the white out of the moon.Įnnis and Jack, the summer they are both about 19, end up herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain in 1960s Wyoming. They were respectful of each other's opinions, each glad to have a companion where no ne had been expected.
