Character Analysis: Robert Cohn
          Just when Robert Cohn seems to be making progress with his life, he does something that places him back into the monotonous pattern of getting his mind and heart manipulated by women. In the beginning of the story he was with Frances who manipulated him into almost marrying her. She did so because she was scared no one  would want her because her looks were starting to fail. She need security and stability in her life so that she may live comfortably. She persuaded Robert into thinking that she did love him and that he should marry her but everyone that knew Robert knew that she did not. When he finally left Frances he got involved with Lady Brett, who is no better than Frances. She has multiple relationships with men and doesn't seem to truly love any one of them. She finds things in the men that she is involved with that benefit her in some way but doesn't commit to them because of another reason such as Jake and Mike. Robert Cohn knows of her string of lovers yet he doesn't seem to mind when he gets involved with her. He left Frances in the hopes of finding a true love that doesn't just want something from him but instead he did the opposite and got involved with Brett that doesn't love him but just finds pleasure with him. He is in a cycle of getting involved with "dead-end" women and doesn't seem to know how to get out of it.
