Neutral

It has become obvious that Jake Barnes is the central character of this novel and pretty much everything that happens revolves around him. But also, many people also come to talk to him and share their feelings with him. For example, in chapter 6 on page 53, Frances wants to talk with Jake about how Cohn wants to leave her. I think that many people like to talk to Jake because he primarily remains neutral between the conflict of two people. While Frances is talking about how Cohn wants to leave her, he never appears to take Cohns side or Frances side, he's just there to listen. However, I get the feeling that Jake is growing away from based on the thoughts and actions of Jake toward Cohn. For example, in chapter 5, Jake tells Cohn to go to hell and also think in his mind "God help him" toward Cohn. Because of his, I don't think that Jake will always be neutral towards Cohn.
