* GeniusBonus: The back story of the matador Finito, the man who fought bulls while [[PrimalFear having a lifelong terror of them]]. The real enemy in properly staged corridas is not the bull itself, which can be killed relatively easily by a skilled man. The bullfighter has to perform instead all the complex dance-like actions inches away from the horns, without giving up to his own fear even for a second. The real enemy which he has to conquer each time, for years to come, '''''is fear itself'''''. Hemingway had fought bulls himself in [[TheTwenties the 1920s]] and had seen plenty of bullfights. He knew what less informed people, who treat the fight just as a contest between man and beast, used to ignore.
