Circe allusion time

"He calls her Circe," Mike said. "he claims she turns men into swine." (pg.148)

Robert Cohn is at it again. He alludes to a mythological character. I feel that Robert is right. Brett does seem to have this affect on men. She can have them eating out of the palm of her hand like swine do. She also seems to intellectually capable so no men can really ever push her around. I also see that Robert is either sore with Brett for not being with him. That Robert is also so perceptive to what Brett does also makes me think he knows her better then the readers think. Although he still is in competition for the "man who knows Brett the best" with Jake.
