Ennis Del Mar Character Traits

This paper will analyze Ennis Del Mar’s characters from Brokeback Mountain movie. This movie is about a relationship between two young men. They had met each other at Brokeback Mountain, and they developed their relationship very deeply. Finally, they became love each another as a couple, but they could not live together as they wanted because they both had their own way to live. In my opinion, Ennis Del Mar is a man who has good characteristics and bad characteristics. Ennis Del Mar has two good characteristics, which are: supportiveness, honesty, and diligence. First, Ennis is helpful and supportive. Ennis was willing to help Jack who is a co-worker with almost everything. For example, when Jack did not want to sleep with sheep because

He also told a lie when he told his wife that Jack was just a friend. Furthermore, every time when he said that he would go fishing fish with Jack, it was not true. In fact, he went out with Jack to have sex. Third, Ennis was not brave enough to accept that he is gay because he thought that everyone around him would not understand and would not open mind to accept same sex families, and he feared that people would judge him that he is a good person or a bad
