Line 1: {{work}} {{Infobox book ''The Sun Also Rises'' is a 1926 novel by [[Ernest Hemingway]].▼ \| title = Ernest Hemingway \| original title = \| image = The Sun Also Rises (1st ed. cover).jpg \| caption = Front cover of the first edition \| author = \| central theme = \| elevator pitch = \| genre = \| publication date = October 1926 \| source page exists = \| wiki URL = \| wiki name = }} ▲''[[The Sun Also Rises]]'' is a 1926 novel by [[Ernest Hemingway]]. Jake Barnes, American veteran of [[World War I]], drifts around Paris, meeting random people and disillusioned with the world around him. He is in love with the lady Brett Ashley, but then [[Femme Fatale\|so is everyone else]]. He is also followed around by Robert Cohn, a Jew with a chip on his shoulder and a weak personality. Jake learns that Cohn is infatuated with Brett and that she slept with him. Jake goes fishing with his friend Bill Gorton in Burguete, and then rejoins Cohn, Brett and Brett's ~~fiancé~~fiance Mike Campbell in Pamplona for the annual Running of the Bulls. Brett seduces an up-and-coming bullfighter, the 19-year-old Pedro Romero, whose [[Technician vs. Performer\|genuine skill]] puts the others to shame. Cohn gets pissed off, beats up Mike and Jake, and then Romero, and then flees the country. Romero, despite having gotten quite beat up, fights flawlessly in the ring, and then scampers off to Madrid with Brett. Soon, however, Brett telegrams Jake and asks him to retrieve her, as she has forced Romero to dump her for fear of ruining him. Brett sighs regretfully that she and Jake would've been so good together, and Jake replies--[[Character Development\|with just a tinge of cynicism]]--that it's nice to think so. The end. Encapsulated the experience of the "Lost Generation," who had seen [[The Edwardian Era]] get [[Bolivian Army Ending\|mowed down in droves]] by the Great War. Jake in particular carries the Symbolism Ball: he sustained an injury in the war that makes him [[The Loins Sleep Tonight\|unable to boner]], representing ~~pre-war~~prewar masculinity being [[Deliberate Values Dissonance\|out of place]] in this new [[World Half Empty]]. Cohn, on the other hand, still clings to those old values, [[Butt Monkey\|which is why nobody likes him]]. Meanwhile, Brett, whose [[The Flapper\|sexually liberated]] exterior hides [[Freudian Excuse\|a history]] of [[Domestic Abuse]], furthers the emasculation imagery as a [[Femme Fatale]] who uses sex to protect herself... But maybe we're starting to read too much into this. Ask the [[Serious Business\|Hemingway scholars]] if we are. The novel is in the public domain, [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Sun_Also_Rises and can be read at Wikisource]. Not to be confused with [[Something Else Also Rises]]. Especially given Jake's injury. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes in this work include: ===~~ * [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Cohn to Brett * [[The Alcoholic]]: Basically everyone, but Mike Campbell get special mention. * [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Ohh, Brett. * [[A Real Man Is a Killer]]▼ * [[Author Avatar]]: Jake is pretty much Hemingway and shares all of his hobbies and viewpoints * [[Badass]]: Robert Cohn YMMV Line 28 ⟶ 43: * [[The Flapper]]: Brett * [[Foreshadowing]]: The first sentence of the book alludes to Robert Cohn's boxing prowess. * [[Full -Name Basis]]: Robert Cohn * [[Henpecked Husband]]: Cohn. * [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Cohn. * [[In Harmony With Nature]]: Bill and Jake seem pretty serene when they go fishing (Jake more so than Bill).▼ * [[The Insomniac]]: Jake ▼ * [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Brett and Jake.
