No, really, that's hardly an adequate use for lymphocytes.

"What are you called?" "Georgette. How are you called?" "Jacob." "That's a Flemish name." "American too." "You're not Flamand?" "No, American." "Good, I detest Flamands."

"Barnes! I say, Barnes! Jacob Barnes!"

Well, well, well, it seems Hemingway has thrown us for a loop! The first two chapters focus mainly on Robert Cohn as the main character, narrated by the mysterious character "I." In this chapter, however, the character's name is revealed to be Jacob Barnes. Brandishing his new name, Jacob turns the narration on himself and a very "friendly" woman named Georgette, ending the chapter with another lady, Brett. This shift in narration came unexpectedly for me because I was expecting a typical writing style. The "Robert Cohn Chapters" seem to imply Cohn's necessity as a main character of the plot. He probably still is (maybe, sometimes, could be) an important character, but now the narrator falls into a more comfortable position of narrating about himself in the first-person. I just tend to find it annoying when a character who's only watching things take place narrates. Well, those days seem to be over as Jacob Barnes finds some "action."
