Millennium Approaches 3.1

Criley: /* Study Questions */

==Summary==
Prior is visited by two of his ancestors. One is from the 13th century and the other is from the 17th century. They all three share the same name and the two dead Priors both died of the plague. They foretell of the messenger's coming and tell Prior of his being a prophet.

==Notes==
==Commentary==

The primary struggle for the characters in the play, Angels in America is the tragic Aids epidemic of the 80's. We can link this epidemic to the plagues of the past. Maybe every generation has a form of plague in one way or another, AIDS is Kushner's plague. In act three, scene one of Millennium Approaches, Prior is visited by two of his ancestors who died in seperate plagues. Prior 1, who died of the "spotty monster" in the 13th century contracted his fatal disease from fleas on rats. Prior 2 who died of the "black jack" plague, was infected through the London water supply. The present Prior of course got AIDS from homosexual intercourse. All three men have one thing in common, they died or will die from a disease no one knew much about or how to stop it at the time. In Prior's case, no one knows to this day how to stop the dreadful disease.

Aids has one advantage over the old world plagues. It is easier to protect yourself from contracting the disease than the others. In the case of "black jack" no one could have known it was in the water supply until it was too late. The "spotty monster" would be even harder to detect because rats could move about anywhere undetected and spread the fatal virus. The AIDS virus at least has to be transferred from one person to another via the bloodstream. After it became apparent what AIDS was and how it was spread, people had the knowledge and option to protect themselves.

==Study Questions==
In what centuries did the other Priors die?

What number did Prior's mother tell him he was of the same name?

What number was he?

Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 7

2006-03-22T00:44:02Z

Criley: /* Notes */

== Summary ==

[[Image:Images.jpg|thumb|A Martini]] Holly and the protangist are in Joe Bell's bar drinking martini's and discussing Holly's marriage. Holly never divorced Doc. "Divorce him? Of course I never divorced him. I was only fourteen, for God's sake. It couldn't have been legal" (Capote 72). Holly explains that she has not been to bed, to sleep that is, and for the first time feels the need to justify her actions. "Well, I had to. Doc really loves me, you know. And I love him. He may have looked old and tacky to ''you''. But you don't know the sweetness of him, the confidence he can give to birds and brats and fragile things like that. Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot" (Capote 73). She is telling the protangist and Joe that she feels that Doc's mistake was his "love" for wild things. Holly offers a toast to Doc, believeing that he has made it to the Blue Mountains.
== Notes ==

* '''rounds''' (72)- a set of drinks bought by and individual for another person or a group of people. "It was not yet noon...and he'd already served us three rounds" (Capote 72).

* '''Lulamae''' (73)- Holly Golightly's name was Lulamae Barnes before she married Doc Golightly. "Her name's not Holly. She was a Lulamae Barnes. Was..."(Capote 66).

* '''Blue Mountains''' (74)- [http://www.peakbagger.com/range.aspx?rid=164 Map] Holly must have been talking about the Blue Ridge Mountains when she said,"He must be in the Blue Mountains by now" (Capote 74).

* '''Hawk''' (74)- A [http://www.desertusa.com/aug96/du_hawk.html bird of prey] that thrives throughout the United States.

* '''Bobcat''' (74)- A wild cousin to the American [http://www.agarman.dial.pipex.com/bobcat.htm housecat] that lives in the United States

== Commentary ==

[[Image:Bus.jpg|thumb|Doc leaves]] "Capote uses some of his best dramatic irony in the novel with the characterization of Doc Golightly. Up until the last minute when he is ready to board a bus bound for Tulip, he truly believes that he has convinced Lulamae to come home with him. But as the reader and the narrator both know, she can't, it would be a total contradiction to everything she believes in" (Cash 4). It seems Holly has a fear of commitment, or of being tied down that has been implanted in her from her young days. "a wild and homeless love of freedom." (Hassan)

When Holly tells Joe Bell, "never love a wild thing Mr. Bell", she is breaking it to him as softly as she can that she will not be around for long. She is a wild thing and sees that Joe is in love with her. She wants him to know that it is nothing personal when she leaves, it is only that she is wild and wants to "fly into a tree" and that Mr. Bell will end up "looking at the sky" (Capote 74).

Throughout the entire novella one theme keeps popping up. The theme is love. "''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' is a love story-of a different nature. it is concerned with all forms of love: sexual, homosexual, asexual, perhaps even spirital" (Levine 352). Almost every other page contains an expression of a different type of love or a definition of what love should be. Section seven deals mostly with the pain and regret that love can cause. Doc is a character that can break a reader's heart. Even Holly Golightly felt bad for Doc, "Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot. I've always remembered Doc in my prayers..." (Capote 73). Truman Capote created a masterpiece that everyone can relate to.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 13

2006-03-22T00:22:06Z

Criley: /* Notes */

== Summary ==
[[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]
The narrator notices the decreasing mention of Holly in the news and finds himself longing to be with her once again. He reads in the headlines of a newspaper about Sally Tomato's death and how Holly is believed to be in Rio. Holly's "abandoned possessions" are sold, and a man named Quaintance Smith moves into her old apartment. Mr. Quaintance entertains as many friends as Holly did, and Madame Spanella has no problem with him or his noisy friends. Madame Spanella evens comes to Mr. Quaintance's aid when he is bruised by one of his guest. Little is heard of from Holly, until the narrator receives a postcard in the spring. It appears she has met someone new and is looking for somewhere to live. Holly informs him that Brazil was too tough, but she has moved to Buenos Aires and she likes it. She explains how it is not Tiffany's but close. The new gentleman that she is interested in is a guy she calls $enor. He is married and has seven children. Holly believes that she is in love with him. The narrator is excited at the thought of hearing from Holly again. He wishes he had an address in which to write Holly to tell her, he read in the newspaper that the Trawlers are getting a divorce and that he is moving out of the brownstone because it is haunted, and that he sold two of his stories. Most important, he wanted Holly to know that he found her cat and he catches himself wondering what the cat's name is now that he has a proper home.

== Commentary ==
The last section of the novella focuses on the narrator's last regrets concerning Holly. The gossip in the paper dies down and he goes through the months of winter hoping to hear from her. In the time that has passed since she left, a man named Quaintance Smith has moved into her old apartment. He receives far better treatment from Madame Spanella that Holly did. He hosts parties and has the occasional black eye, for which Spanella aids him with "filet mignon" (110).

The headlines in the paper tell of Sally Tomato's death and the disappearance of Holly (109). This sums up the story by having Holly return to her carefree ways by running away again. The narrator seems more worried about where she is than her running away from the law and Sally Tomato's crooked business.

The mention of the Trawlers countersuing for divorce seems to add a humorous turn on the whole affair between Holly, Rusty, and Mag (110). It seems that Mag was only out for money and/or jealousy from the beginning of her affair with Rusty. Holly was not at all affected by their marriage, and proved it by leaving for Rio in search of another life.

The novella ends with the narrator's hope that Holly has finally found a home, a venture in which her cat has been successful. He regrets most that he cannot reach Holly to tell her about the cat. He expresses that whether it be an "African hut or whatever," he hopes Holly "arrived somewhere [she] belonged" (111).

Criley: /* Notes */

== Summary ==
[[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]
The narrator notices the decreasing mention of Holly in the news and finds himself longing to be with her once again. He reads in the headlines of a newspaper about Sally Tomato's death and how Holly is believed to be in Rio. Holly's "abandoned possessions" are sold, and a man named Quaintance Smith moves into her old apartment. Mr. Quaintance entertains as many friends as Holly did, and Madame Spanella has no problem with him or his noisy friends. Madame Spanella evens comes to Mr. Quaintance's aid when he is bruised by one of his guest. Little is heard of from Holly, until the narrator receives a postcard in the spring. It appears she has met someone new and is looking for somewhere to live. Holly informs him that Brazil was too tough, but she has moved to Buenos Aires and she likes it. She explains how it is not Tiffany's but close. The new gentleman that she is interested in is a guy she calls $enor. He is married and has seven children. Holly believes that she is in love with him. The narrator is excited at the thought of hearing from Holly again. He wishes he had an address in which to write Holly to tell her, he read in the newspaper that the Trawlers are getting a divorce and that he is moving out of the brownstone because it is haunted, and that he sold two of his stories. Most important, he wanted Holly to know that he found her cat and he catches himself wondering what the cat's name is now that he has a proper home.
