During the entire novel, I felt bad for Jake Barnes. Like many of the people that he socialized with, he struggled with self-motivation and life purpose. He went through a difficult war, and it impacted every aspect of his life and his future. His injuries from the war alone even destroyed his chances of being with the one woman that he loved. Even though he knew that he had no chance of ever being with Brett because she was not willing to make sacrifices, Jake stuck around in Brett's life and let himself suffer. He watched the woman that he loved become infatuated with a number of other men. I think that Jake was a very strong person because even through all of these tough times, he was still there for Brett when she needed him the most. Even when Brett went to Jake for help when she knew she could, Jake never let her down. I think Jake is really a good person with good intentions, but he constantly battles issues from his past that hold him back from his true potential.
