As Carol Smith points out, however, . . . analyzing Brett in terms of bitch-goddess or Terrible Mother does not do justice to her (55). Smith s quotation is well-founded. Hemingway has done much more with the character of Brett than it may seem. She is a good woman the world has broken . . . a complex woman who has endured much (55 ... 55).
