Rhetoric

What is up with Brett and being in love? She saw Pedro Romero in the bull ring and was immediately in love with him. She knows she is hurting most of the men around her yet she still does what she wants. Brett even says it herself: "I do feel such a bitch" (pg 188). And she should. I don't think she cares for anyone around her. She may say she loves Jake but I think that is all just an act, a form of irony.

Then Brett goes and actually talks to Pedro and flirts with him. The kid is nineteen years old! And what is she...thirty-four?! That is just wrong on so many levels. She successfully uses rhetoric to get Pedro to leave with her. Jake should stay away from Brett because all she will end up doing is hurt him and add even more to his misery.
