Jake is in love with Lady Brett Ashley and she is in love with him. The only problem with this is that Brett is "getting a divorce and she's going to marry Mike Campbell" (pg 46). This is why Jake is so depressed: he's in love with someone who he can never have. This whole situation causes a big internal conflict for Jake.
What also makes this situation so messed up is that Cohn has formed an interest in Brett. When he asks Jake about Brett, he tells him how they met and what she is like. I thought that was a good way to tell the audience about the woman Jake is in love with. Instead of just flat out stating facts about her, the author incorporated it into a conversation between two characters. It made the novel more intriguing and I am anxious to keep reading to see what will happen between Jake and Brett.
