Interesting question. Perhaps Jack might have said something else about staying in touch if their descent from the mountain hadn't turned dark that way. But I also think that
(1) Jack took the shirt before he knew how Ennis would behave because he wanted a part of Ennis with him even if they did see each other again (I've done this so I knew where it was as soon as Ennis mentioned it was missing, but had long forgotten about it by the end of the movie so I was still stunned by that scene in the closet).
And
Yes, I almost feel haunted by this story because there isn’t really a realistic way you can rework it to give them a happy ending. Even if Jack DID say something would the outcome had been different? Ennis did say in the short story that when he finally recognized his feelings (that he should have never let Jack out of his sights) that he possibly would have been willing, if only he had the awareness sooner?
I think ENFP fits Jack pretty well but I feel like Ennis was more of an ISTJ than ISFJ.That’s what I initially picked actually, and it may be right. But I changed it after reading the full description of both personalities. I do believe Ennis does have a sensitivity to others, even though he comes off pretty hard. Him choosing soup over beans, deciding the break the rules and shoot the elk, and switching job roles could all be read as him considering Jack’s needs and putting them before his own. Of course he also doesn’t seem to consider Alma and definitely winds up hurting Jack several times, but I think this is more because of his inflexible thinking not because he doesn’t care. I think his fears make him act in ways that may not necessarily reflect his true nature.
I think I'm closest to an ISFJ (maybe with a hint of ISFP or INFP - take out the organized and INFJ fits, too). LJN would probably know better.What do you think?
Hi and welcome, YouBet!Hey there fellow INFJ, we are pretty rare! I’m interested in hearing other’s opinions on what the characters are.I have to think a bit more on which I think they each fall under though I do agree with your assessment.
