The Sun Also Rises: Michael

"I'm going to marry him...Funny. I haven't thought about him for a week." -pg. 69

Michael was one of my least favorite characters. I was confused as to whether he was rich or whether he had blown all of his money away by the end of the novel. Brett didn't really love him, but found security in him. He was mean when he was drunk, which was a lot of the time. No matter how annoying he was, he was just cruel to Cohn. Also, how was he okay with hanging around with so many of Brett's ex's, and letting her go off with some nineteen year old bullfight? He obviously didn't love Brett like Jake or Cohn, because he didn't feel jealous regarding her other men. He was the epitome of an annoying man you marry just for the money.
