Narrator and protagonist of the novel. An American journalist in Paris wounded in the war and left impotent.
The Sun also rises or Fiesta
It is the first major depiction of the brilliant and reckless lives of American expatriates in Paris in the 1920s.
The society Hemingway portrays in this novel seems to lead an aimless life in the cafés and night clubs, drinking too much and having irresponsible love affairs as to forget the pain of living. In fact, the novel was said to depict the life and attitudes of the group of American expatriates called the 'Lost Generation' .
The story which spans just a few weeks in the lives of the characters, is narrated by Jake Barnes, an American journalist in Paris who has been wounded in the war and has been left impotent. Jake is in love with Lady Brett Ashley and she with him, but their love cannot be consummated and they find it a torture to be together.
Together with an odd group of friends they have various adventures in Paris, Madrid and Pamplona, characterized by too much drinking, violence and irresponsible sex.
When Jake and his friends go to Spain for the fiesta and bull-fighting, competition for Brett erupts into a fight. The woman goes away with the young matador Pedro, but she leaves him a few days later 'not to ruin him', and goes back to Jake for help and comfort. So the novel ends where it began, with Jake and Brett still trapped in a hopeless love for each other.
Fiesta is an adaptation of the ancient myth on which T.S. Eliot also built The Waste Land: a king, wounded in the loins, lies ill in bed while his Kingdom becomes unfruitful. The novel well adapts the ancient myth to the modern world: Jake too has been wounded in the loins and has become impotent ; consequently he lives in a word that is sterile.
