"He nearly killed the poor, bloody bull-fighter. Then Cohn wanted to take Brett away. Wanted to make an honest woman of her I imagine. Damned touching scene." [page 205].
Oh jealousy, what a vice it is. Cohn is cursed with that vice most of all. He wants what he wants and refuses to take anything less than just that. All he wants is Brett, but Brett does not want him. I'd feel bad for the guy if I actually liked him.
Cohn's motivation for beating up Romero was his jealousy that he had spent time with Brett. Though Cohn shouldn't be protective of Brett, he definitely is. I think he is trying to just get her to love him even though it will never happen. She put him under her spell when they traveled together, and he has been a goner ever since. There's a point in time where Cohn should get the hint that Brett doesn't want to be with him. Oh, maybe the time where she decided she was in love with Romero!
