Summary and Analysis by Chapter

Chapter XVIII

It is the last day of the fiesta. Cohn has left Pamplona, presumably to return to his girlfriend, Frances, and Mike, drunk as always, is clearly embittered by Brett's affair with Romero. Jake and Brett pray at the cathedral, where she feels uncomfortable, before she visits Romero. Then Jake, Brett, and Bill attend the bullfight, in which Romero, beloved of the crowd, kills the bull and presents its ear to Brett — even though he is cut and bruised from his fight with Cohn the night before. After Jake and Bill share a meal, Mike tells Jake that Brett has left town also, with Romero.
