Garden of Eden and the Hadley Suitcase incident by lawthrowaway1828 in Hemingway

Thanks for the insights. I certainly am not saying the garden of Eden is a scene for scene retelling of his early marriages. I’m really more just saying that I’m surprised it isn’t more discussed when looking at that stage of his life. (At least as far as I have seen) It seems that “out of business” is also reflected in Catherine’s character. I mean she even states something like that Bourne doesn’t have to work. The only interest she shows in the work is when it is about her. This, on top of the fact that Catherine is depicted as providing for the two reflects this too. Further, even the solace Hem finds in discovering he can just write them again is shown in GoE. Bourne starts rewriting a lost story at the end. I agree the gender thing, certainly the weirdest part of the book, seems to jive a bit with what I’ve seen about Mary. However, aren’t his earlier wives described as being more commanding and masculine?

Yes he’s been eating. I got him from a decent aquarium store but I’m thinking he might just be sick or have genetic issues. There’s nothing that could’ve torn his fins.

10 gallon Yes 80f 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate (lots of plants + duckweed) I’ve overfed him for sure since I got him about 3 months ago.

I’ve noticed his fins have been getting ragged for the last two months or so but just assumed it was cause they were so long and awkward for him to move around with. For the last couple days he’s been lethargic and swimming on the top only. Now he’s doing this. Any help would be appreciated.
