Brokeback Mountain

So I just watched Brokeback Mountain the other day and the whole time while watching it I just kept thinking about how similar it was to Giovanni's Room. Both stories take place about the same time, when homosexuality was not accepted at all, especially by Americans. So, the two characters in the movie, Ennis and Jack, as well as David from Giovanni's Room, all kept their homosexuality a secret from everyone else, or at least try to. However, both David's fiancé and Ennis's wife find out and end up leaving. David's bad decision making skills which end up making him a jerk seem to be split between Ennis, who drinks a lot, and Jack, who ends up having multiple affairs with both men and women. In the end, Jack gets killed and Ennis is alone. Sounds familiar...
