Eat, Drink, Sleep, Repeat.

"All the bags were opened and clothing was strewn around. There were empty bottles beside the bed. Mike lay on the bed looking like a death mask of himself. He opened his eyes and looked at me," (page 214).

Alright, now I am confused on Brett and Mike's relationship. They are "supposed" to be getting married, so does that make them engaged? I don't understand why Mike would let her walk all over him and sleep with several guys when she is well aware that she has promised a future to Mike. None of these people seem to hold value to their word and relationships with anyone. Troubles with morality and values are repetitive in the novel, making it the theme by giving insight about human life revealed throughout the book. They're immoral lifestyle is tiring, and I'm just the reader. Eat, drink, sleep, repeat. How do they feel alive when they spend more of their time oblivious to the world then they do aware of their surroundings? They can use the excuse of a fiesta all the want, but their routine was the same when they were in Paris, too.
