Belmonte makes me sad =( He was once top dog of this whole bullfighting syndicate, but now even he can't live up to his reputation. He's essentially lost his livelihood. In a way, I think he sort of resembles the Lost Generation as a whole. They all fought in a war and saved the world hoo-rah, but after it was all said and done, they were left without anything to do besides get drunk. They've lost that sense of purpose that they once had. Now, Belmonte is dusting off the cape and poofy pants in order to re-enter the bull ring, and suddenly he finds he just can't do it anymore. He now has also lost his purpose in life. Granted, it's for a different reason, but really he's exactly the same as Jake, Brett, and the entire Lost Generation. Now he's lost his aim, his goal in life, and all he has left is just wandering around aimlessly getting wasted. Poor Belmonte...at least he still has his canned food corporation. wait...
