Ironic

pg 70 "Oh, darling." Brett said, "I'm so miserable.." "The drummer shouted: 'You cant two time' " I felt that this page could be characterized as somewhat ironic because Brett arrives with Mike but as she dances with Jake she claims to be miserable. I thought it was ironic that she said she was miserable as she danced with Jake because for one she chose to go off and dance with him, and for two, it is her fault she cannot have a real relationship with him. Just as Jake and Brett are dancing coincidentally the drummer happens to sing the words "You can't two time-" which i felt were fitting to the certain circumstance. That is because it describes what Brett is doing at that exact moment. She cant make up her mind. She is in love with Jake but because of her selfishness and vainity she wont commit to him. Instead Brett finds herself with Mike. Later in the story though Brett turns her attention to a Bull Fighter named Romero... it seems Jake and Mike arent her only victims.
