On page 46, Krum (one of Jake Barnes' friends) asks Jake about Lady Brett Ashley. Jake then reveals that Brett is getting a divorce so she will no longer be Lady Ashley. "She is getting a divorce and going to marry Mike Campbell.." Getting divorced but not marrying Jake? The man who she proposed to love only the chapter before? I am still wondering why Brett and Jake cannot be together; even though it is clear they adore each other. To me, this situation is dramatic irony in reverse. Instead of the audience knowing something the characters do not, the characters know something that has not yet been revealed to the audience.
