ResumoAnnie Proulx's "two-faced landscape" constitutes the geography of Brokeback Mountain on both the physical and emotional levels of Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar's relationship. The bifurcated narrative shifts between the hardscrabble towns of the northern plains and the romanticized, elusive Brokeback Mountain. This division marks Jack and Ennis's relationship, from its unexpected, volatile inception to its tragic, inevitable conclusion since, as Ennis states, "if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it."
