jack_f_twistThings about Jack Twist:
1. He accumulates stuff. Just things--hats, belts, books (read or otherwise), and other varities of knick-knack. He's the sort of dad who'll keep a newspaper mention of his son, even if it's kept in a box somewhere in a closet. He isn't materialistic, though he does enjoy nice clothes, a good home, and maybe the latest in camping equipment--he's more of a pack rat.
2. On a similar but not entirely related note, Jack never stops talking. If he's silent, he's communicationg something through body language; through touching, smiling, looking away or down, slouching, etc.
3. Following that note, if Jack is silent and unreadable? Something is very off.
4. He will probably be letting you know what that something is without your having to pry too awfully much.
5. He is silent and unreadable a lot around Lureen.
6. Brokeback Mountain is simeltaneously the place he loves most in the world, and the place he will never go back to (until after his death, which is why he insists that his ashes be spread up on Brokeback).
7. His son is the most important person in his life, barring only Ennis.
8. He will never hate anyone or love anyone as much as he hates and loves Ennis.
9. He will never use the word "love" to describe any part of his relationship with Ennis.
10. When he looks at Desire, he doesn't always see dirty blond hair and hazel eyes and a cowboy hat. Mostly he just sees the fact that to Desire, Jack seems to be important and wanted and liked.
11. He will never stop trying to gain his father's affection and respect.
12. He will never get it.
