Cohn's conflict

From what I can see from the first few chapter, Robert Cohn is going to be a character who is consumed by internal conflict. In chapter 2 he seemed to be going through a midlife crisis and later on in the story, he falls in love with Brett but she does not love him back or even want him around. This is not going to make Robert Cohn a character who is well like by the reader. Instead, this is only going to make him annoying to the characters and the audience. Another thing about Cohn's internal conflict is that he lets his preoccupations affect the people around him. For example, in chapter 2 on page 17-18, he wants to drag Jake along to South America with him for reasons such as that Jake speaks fluent spanish. Cohn's problems are only going to push his friends away from him.
