Lady Brett Ashley

In "The Sun also Rises", Lady Brett Ashley is a very beautiful woman that lost someone she loved in World War I.I believe that Lady Brett Ashley's meaning of life is to just have fun. She has fun by drinking a lot and having sex.  Right after he died in WWI, Lady Brett married another man. She must have got what she wanted from him because she moved on and is in the process of divorcing him. I know that she does not marry men for love, but only for the sex. By the end of book one, Brett is with two men; Jake and Mike. I believe that she truly loves Jake, but she will not commit to him because he is unable to have sex due to what happened to him in WWI. This is why she is going to marry Mike, a man that she probably doesn't love but is using him for sex. By marrying Mike, she is saying that she will only marry a man that will have sex with her. This is her way of having fun in life. She must be satisfied with her life because she is not making any extra effort to find her true meaning of life so if she is satisfied with that, she has found her meaning of life. She should continue doing this if it brings happiness to her life.
