The Sun Also Rises: Foil Characters

From the time that Pedro Romero came into the story, I really liked his character. He is motivated and enthusiastic about bullfighting. Pedro Romero is passionate about what he does, and he is a very hard and determined worker. As soon as his character showed up in the plot, I immediately thought that he was a foil character to Jake Barnes and all of his crazy friends. While Pedro Romero is dedicated to his bullfighting, Barnes and his party crew live lives of corrupt chaos. Romero is someone who can be viewed as a role model with high standards and expectations for himself. He expects nothing but the best from himself, while others from his time were willing to settle for less. I think Pedro Romero is a noble and honorable character in a time that it was very difficult to be able to accomplish something like that.
