the most important point is that the other characters couldn’t get used to the fact that Robert Cohn was different in the way that he showed some kind of hope, which they were missing.

Not only did he seem to actually care about things that happened in the story, but he also showed some kind of hope. Robert Cohn may not have been able to love really, but he believed that he could. Deep down, he may not have felt as separated from other people as Jake and Mike and Bill and Brett. But this shred of hope that he held on to was enough to disgust those around him that had lost theirs, and then Robert Cohn became the outcast for all others to exclude and spit upon to somehow feel superior because they were at that time a group all excluding Robert Cohn. Cohn wasn't like the others in the way that he did not look in sex or alcohol for his happiness. Cohn hoped, for the possibility of real love, so he kept on persisting for what he was hoping for, the love of Brett. But no one could understand....
