<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Prior 1 pops into Act 3 Scene 1. Prior 1 is Prior's ancestor. He was the great-great grandson of the The Bayeux tapestry Prior Walter. The fith of the name. He died from the plague. He doesn't believe in counting the bastards. He comes as a messenger and to prepare the way. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Prior 1.jpg]]</div>

<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Roy Cohn's doctor, whom he has been going to since 1958. Diagnoses Roy with [http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/ AIDS]. Henry is almost considered a small character in the play. He is Act 1, Scene 9. The scene starts off with information about the virus. Henry tells Roy, &quot;Nobody knows what causes it. And nobody knows how to cure it. The best theory is that we blame a retrovirus, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It's presence is made known to us by the useless antibodies which appear in reaction to its entrance into the bloodstrea through a cut, or an orifice. The antibodies are powerless to protect the body against it... (Kushner 48). Henry diagnoses Roy with the disease after removing lesions called [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000661.htm Kaposi's sarcomas].<br /> Henry also tells Roy, &quot;...And you ahve a pronounced swelling of glands in your kneck, groin, and armpits-[http://www.iapm.net/medicalcase_old.htm lymphadnopathy] is another sign. And you have [http://www.dentalcare.com/soap/intermed/oralcan.htm oral candidiasis] and maybe a little more [http://www.davidlnelson.md/Fingernail_fungus.htm fungus] under the fingernails of two digits on your right hand...&quot; (Kushner 48). Henry is a character that is either afraid of Roy, loyal to Roy, or indifferent to Roy. Henry was Roy's doctor from 1958, and he knows that Roy is a gay man in the closet. In one part during the scene Roy gets angry at Henry for telling him that he has a homosexual/drug addict disease. Henry replies, &quot;Roy, you have been seeing me since 1958. Apart from facelifts I have treated you for everything from syphilis...to venereal warts. In your rectum. which you may have gotten from a whore in Dallas, but it wasn't a female whore&quot; (Kushner 50). In the end end Henry writes down that Roy has liver cancer, but he puts Roy on the aids level of the hospital. There is some evidence to suggest that Henry is afrad of Roy, and some evidence to suggest that he can't wait for Roy to die.<br /> <br /> After Roy is in the hospital, Belize goes to talk to him. Roy tells Belize that they did his facelifts without without putting him out. Belize replies, &quot;No doctor would agree to do that&quot; (Kushner 157). Roy replies, &quot;I can get anyone to do anything I want...&quot; (Kushner 157). On page fifty in the play Henry admits to doing Roy's facelifts for him. Apparently the doctor that was manipulated by Roy to do a facelift without anestesia was Henry. The evidence that Henry can't wait for Roy to die is circumstantial. When Henry is admitting Roy into the hospital he tells Belize, &quot;Emergency admit, Room 1013. Here are the charts. Start the drip, Gamma G and he'll ned a CTM, radiation in the morning so clear diet and...&quot; (Kushner 155). When Belize is talkint to Roy after Henry leaves he tells him, &quot;This didn't come from me and I don't like you but let me tell you a thing or two: They have you down for radiation tomorrow for the sarcoma lesions, and you don't want to let them do that, because radiation will kill the T-Cells and you don't have any you can afford to lose...&quot; (Kushner 160). Henry is a medical doctor and Belize is a nurse. Why did Henry schedule Roy for radiation if he already knew about the T-cells? Henry is also the one that told Roy about the AZT medicine and the waiting list on page 50. Belize tells Henry about the double blind. &quot;WAtch out for the double blind. They'll want you to sign something that says they can give you M&amp;M's instead of the real drug. You'll die, but they'll get the kind of statistics they can publish in the New England Journal of Medicine...&quot; (Kushner 160). Henry is a doctor and probably knows all about the placebo part of the trials but doesn't tell Roy. Why? <br /> <br /> Henry is a character that really spells out the hatred that even professionals have for Roy.<br /> <br /> [[Image:James Cromwell.jpg]]<br /> ----<br /> [[Angels in America]]</div>

<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Though Kushner is critical of Louis, he in no way diminishes the gravity of what this character is forced to deal with. Louis has, after all, good reason for wanting to flee. His lover, Prior Walter, is diagnosed with AIDS and is enduring many critical and excruciating symptoms of the disease. When he confronts his lover on the floor of their bedroom, burning with fever and excreting blood, the full horror of this disease is conveyed in all its mercilessness and squalor. Louis's moral dilemma is compelling precisely because what he has to deal with is so overwhelming. Still, the playwright makes clear that all the talk of justice and politics will not free us from those terrifying, yet fundamental responsibilities that accompany human sickness and death (McNutty 3).<br /> <br /> Louis is determined to &quot;maybe himself out of his unfortunate present reality.One of the more incendiary moments occurs at a coffee shop with Prior's ex-lover and closest friend, Belize. Louis launches instead into a de Tocqueville-esque diatribe: &quot;There are no gods here, no ghosts and spirits in America, there are no angels in Americal, no spiritual past, no racial past, there's only the political, and the decoys and the ploys to maneuver around the inescapable battle of politics&quot;. Belize makes clear that he can see right through Louis's highbrow subterfuge: &quot;Are you deliberately transforming yourself into an arrogant, sexual-political Stalinist-slash-racist flag-wavingh thug for my benefit&quot; (McNutty 2,3).<br /> <br /> Louis self-destructively yearns to be penetrated: &quot;I want you to fuck me, hurt me, make me bleed&quot; (Kruger 7). Later Joe encounters Louis, who is in desperate flight of fear from his longtime lover, Prior, who is suffering from the initial stages of full-blown AIDS. Racked with guilt at his faithlessness, the liberal Louis reflects on the era, which he sees as a metaphor for his cowardly behavior. He describes himself, and Joe, as &quot;Children of the new morning, criminal minds. Selfish and greedy and loveless and blind. Reagan's children.&quot; Louis has a brutal, punishing sexual encounter with a stranger in Central Park. The stanger provocatively asks, &quot;You been a bad boy? Louis can only sardonically reply, &quot;Very bad. Very bad&quot; (Layman 9).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Louis.jpg]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Commentary==<br /> <br /> Louis is a frightened boy who runs from his problems and searches for answers and spends a great deal of time babbling about what he thinks he has found. Louis is quite wishy-washy and always full of guilt for changing. He is quite self-destructive and a glutton for punishment which is exemplified by his meeting in the park with Joe. <br /> <br /> Louis is almost the antithesis of Roy Cohn. Louis always seems confused about what he wants, Roy is directly to his point. Louis searches for a way to forget about his pain, Roy accepts pain and says that &quot;life is pain&quot;. Louis is afraid, Roy says the Devil should be afraid of him. However, we must question Louis' moral character, just as we do Roy's, because Louis abandon's his loved ones in the greatest times of need - the difference between Roy and Louis' lack of morals is that Louis always let them get the better of him.</div>

<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Harper Pitt is Joseph (Joe) Pitt's wife. She is addicted to [http://www.rocheusa.com/products/valium/ valium] which frequently makes her hallucinate. She has [http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/english/Ag/Agoraphobia.html agoraphobia], and creates an imaginary friend to avoid bad situations. Prior and Harper cross over into one another's hallucination. During this hallucination, she learns that her husband (Joe) is a homosexual. Harper appearing as a sexually frustrated and politically detached female, learns to manage these weaknesses she has and reshapes her life by leaving Joe and moving away from New York (Meisner 178). Though she appears as a weak character in the beginning of the play, she ends the play as a changed person. According to Bloom, Kushner’s women are stronger than the men (with the exception of Roy Cohn), especially Harper (299).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Harper.jpg]]</div>

<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Hannah Pitt is a [http://www.atheists.org/christianity/mormon.html Mormon]. She is also Joe's mother. Her late husband was a hard military man. During the play Hannah underwent a major transition. In the beginning when Joe came out to her she replied, &quot;You're old enough to understand that your father didn't love you without being ridiculous about it&quot; (Kushner 82). It almost appears in the play that Hannah is confused by homosexuality and stereotypes. In one scene she is talking to Prior and she asks him, &quot;Would you say that you are a typical...homosexual?&quot; (Kushner 231) By the end of the play she was much more open and accepting. She is talking to Prior in the hospital room when she says, &quot;I flew into rage when he (Joe) told me, mad as hornets. At first I assumed it was about his... But that wasn't it. Homosexuality. It just seems... ungainly. Two men together. It isn't an appetizing notion but then, for me, men in any configuration... well they're so lumpish and stupid. And stupidity gets me cross&quot; (Kushner 236). Some might imply that Hannah is really a lesbian trapped in her heterosexuality by society and Mormonism. Later on while still in the hospital scene the angel returns again. After Prior climbs up the ladder to heaven the angel talks to Hannah. The angel, who is female, then kisses Hannah passionately on the lips. Then the angel says, &quot;the Body is the Garden of the Soul&quot; (Kushner 252). While the angel flies away Hannah has an orgasm. This instance could be symbolic literally or figuratively. It is probably not likely that Hannah was a closet lesbian given the fact that Prior also had an orgasm with the angel, and he is gay. This scene probably shows that Hannah was suppressed and needed freedom, hence the orgasm.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Hannah.jpg]]</div>

<p>Trichards: </p> <hr /> <div>Hannah Pitt is a mormon. She is also Joe's mother. Her late husband was a hard military man. During the play Hannah underwent a major transition. In the beginning when Joe came out to her she replied, &quot;You're old enough to understand that your father didn't love you without being ridiculous about it&quot; (Kushner 82). It almost appears in the play that Hannah is confused by homosexuality and stereotypes. In one scene she is talking to Prior and she asks him, &quot;Would you say that you are a typical...homosexual?&quot; (Kushner 231) By the end of the play she was much more open and accepting. She is talking to Prior in the hospital room when she sais, &quot;I flew into rage when he (Joe) told me, mad as hornets. At first I assumed it was about his... But that wasn't it. Homosexuality. It just seems... ungainly. Two men together. It isn't an appetizing notion but then, for me, men in any configuration... well they're so lumpish and stupid. And stupidity gets me cross&quot; (Kushner 236). Some might imply that Hannah is really a lesbian trapped in her heterosexuality by society and mormonism. Later on while still in the hospital scene the angel returns again. After Prior climbs up the ladder to heaven the angel talks to Hannah. The angel, who is female, then kisses Hannah passionately on the lips. Then the angel sais, &quot;the Body is the Garden of the Soul&quot; (Kushner 252). While the angel flies away Hannah has an orgasm. This instance could be symbolic literally or figuratively. It is probably not likely that hannah was a closet lesbian given the fact that Prior also had an orgasm with the angel, and he is gay. This scene probably shows that Hannah was suppressed and needed freedom, hence the orgasm.</div>

<p>Trichards: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> [[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]<br /> 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 &quot;abandoned possessions&quot; 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.<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> *'''Arican Hut''' (111) - A single story [http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/mip/leprosy/huts.jpg building] made up of natural materials usually wood, which is used for shelter or a house.<br /> *'''Brazil''' (110) - The largest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil country] in Eastern South America that was founded by the Portuguese in the 1500.

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 &quot;filet mignon&quot; (110). <br /> <br /> 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. Paul Levine writes,&quot; there is more than a hint that they form a part of a solid literary phalanx of spiritual non-conformists, of yea-saying rebels whose off-center vision, whose unflagging but unorthodox sense of rightness alienates them from society&quot; (352). Holly Golightly was right in her own way; unfortunately, her sense of rightness didn't hold up in society. It's no wonder that she ran away.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> After Holly is gone all of her possessions were sold by the owner of the Brownstone. A man named Quantance Smith moves in. Quaintance Smith is considered to be gay. Capote gives his readers a hint when he writes,&quot;...and he(Quaintance Smith) entertained as many gentlemen callers of a noisy nature as Holly ever had...&quot; (Capote 110). Holly was straight and threw parties for male dates. Why was Quaintance Smith throwing parties for men only if he wasn't dating one of them? Pugh Tison writes,&quot;The name &quot;Quaintance&quot; is an allusion to [http://www.apollonetwork.com/archive/quaintance/ George Quaintance], a painter of the 1940's and 1950's, whose art bordered on soft-core gay pornography&quot; (Tison).<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;African hut or whatever,&quot; he hopes Holly &quot;arrived somewhere [she] belonged&quot; (111).<br /> <br /> &quot;The [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dichotomy dichotomy] of good and evil exists in each Capote character just as the dichotomy of daylight and nighttime exists in the [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=aggregate aggregate] of his stories&quot; (Hassan). Everyone of Capote's characters either represents a good presence or a bad presence. Toward the end of the novella, the narrator's love for Holly shows when he spends weeks trying to find her cat. Not too many people would do something for someone else that required so much time and effort.<br /> <br /> == Study Questions ==<br /> #What is the name of the new tenant in Holly's old apartment?<br /> #What happened to her belongings?<br /> #What is the one thing he wishes to tell Holly the most?<br /> #Who found Holly's cat?<br /> #How did Sally Tomato die?<br /> #What day did Sally Tomato die?<br /> #What does the narrator promise Holly?<br /> #Where did Sally Tomato die?<br /> #Where did Holly write from?<br /> #What does the narrator hope Holly will find?<br /> #What is the name of Holly's new friend?<br /> #How long did it take the narrator to find the cat?<br /> <br /> == External Resources ==<br /> <br /> *Cash, Matthew.

<p>Trichards: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> [[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. &quot;Divorce him? Of course I never divorced him. I was only fourteen, for God's sake. It couldn't have been legal&quot; (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. &quot;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&quot; (Capote 73). She is telling the protangist and Joe that she feels that Doc's mistake was his &quot;love&quot; for wild things. Holly offers a toast to Doc, believeing that he has made it to the Blue Mountains. <br /> == Notes ==<br /> <br /> <br /> * '''rounds''' (72)- a set of drinks bought by and individual for another person or a group of people. &quot;It was not yet noon...and he'd already served us three rounds&quot; (Capote 72).<br /> <br /> * '''Lulamae''' (73)- Holly Golightly's name was Lulamae Barnes before she married Doc Golightly. &quot;Her name's not Holly.

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&quot; (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. Holly has, &quot;a wild and homeless love of freedom&quot; (Hassan). <br /> <br /> When Holly says, &quot;never love a wild thing Mr. Bell&quot;, 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 &quot;fly into a tree&quot; and that Mr. Bell will end up &quot;looking at the sky&quot; (Capote 74). <br /> <br /> Throughout the entire novella one theme keeps popping up. The theme is love. &quot;''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&quot; (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, &quot;Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot. I've always remembered Doc in my prayers...&quot; (Capote 73). Truman Capote created a masterpiece that everyone can relate to.<br /> <br /> The entire scene in section seven takes place in Joe Bell's bar. Holly is drinking a little, and she is giving up some personal information about the previous evening. Why did Holly feel comfortable with Joe Bell and the narrator? What ties them together? Tison Pugh writes, &quot;Critics have long recognized that Holly's friendships with the narrator and Joe Bell are asexual, but it is imperative to note the queer reasons for the platonic nature of these relationships&quot; (2). The reason Holly is comfortable with Joe Bell and the narrator is because they are both gay. Joe Bell's bar is also a gay bar. Readers know this by the descriptions given in the novella. The bar is hidden from view and has mirrored windows (Capote 5). &quot;Gay bars did not advertise themselves...in the 1950's...Mirror windows allow patrons to see outside but do not allow passersby to look in; to this day many gay bars have such mirror windows to protect the privacy of their patrons&quot; (Pugh 2).<br /> <br /> == Study Questions ==<br /> <br /> # What time are Holly and the protangist at Joe Bell's bar?

Tison Pugh writes, &quot;Critics have long recognized that Holly's friendships with the narrator and Joe Bell are asexual, but it is imperative to note the queer reasons for the platonic nature of these relationships&quot; (2). The reason Holly is comfortable with Joe Bell and the narrator is because they are both gay. Joe Bell's bar is also a gay bar. Readers know this by the descriptions given in the novella. The bar is hidden from view and has mirrored windows (Capote 5). &quot;Gay bars did not advertise themselves...in the 1950's...Mirror windows allow patrons to see outside but do not allow passersby to look in; to this day many gay bars have such mirror windows to protect the privacy of their patrons&quot; (Pugh 2).<br /> <br /> == Study Questions ==<br /> <br /> # What time are Holly and the protangist at Joe Bell's bar?

<p>Trichards: /* Commentary */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> [[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. &quot;Divorce him? Of course I never divorced him. I was only fourteen, for God's sake. It couldn't have been legal&quot; (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. &quot;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&quot; (Capote 73). She is telling the protangist and Joe that she feels that Doc's mistake was his &quot;love&quot; for wild things.

<p>Trichards: /* The Bird Cage */</p> <hr /> <div>==Factual Information==<br /> A [[novel]]/[[novella]] by American writer [[Truman Capote]] published in 1958 by Random House, Inc., New York.<br /> <br /> http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/capote.htm Truman Capote (1924-1984) - original name Truman Streckfus Persons<br /> <br /> ==Study Guide==<br /> Below are the thirteen major sections of the [[novella]]. Since Capote did not use chapters, these are indicated by the double line break on the page. There might be more sections, or a more logical means of distinguishing them, but these arbitrary divisions will work for our purposes.<br /> <br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 1|Section one (3-14)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 2|Section two (14-47)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 3|Section three (47-53)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 4|Section four (53-55)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 5|Section five (55-63)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 6|Section six (63-72)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 7|Section seven (72-74)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 8|Section eight (74-85)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 9|Section nine (85-93)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 10|Section ten (93-97)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 11|Section eleven (97-104)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 12|Section twelve (104-109)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 13|Section thirteen (109-111)]]<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> ===Capote/Narrator===<br /> A starting out author who had just gotten his first New York apartment. He becomes friends with Holly and Joe Bell and he later falls in love with Holly. He seems to be a passive man.<br /> <br /> ===Holly Golightly===<br /> Holly is a spunky 19 year old woman who goes her own way and does her own thing. She is a bit of a vagabond. She only stays in one place for so long. If something starts to go awry, she will pack up her stuff and move on to another place. She lives in apartment #2 of a brownstone apartment complex in New York City. Her apartment reflects her personality, for it always has the look of being just moved in to, and the look of just about to be moved out of.<br /> <br /> ===Joe Bell===<br /> Joe Bell runs a bar around the corner on Lexington Avenue. He is friends with Holly and the narrator. He took phone messages for them both, and near the end he hired a limo to drive Holly to the airport.<br /> <br /> ==Major Themes==<br /> ===Delight in the Unorthodox===<br /> Plimpton writes that the theme in ''Breakfast at Tiffany’s'' is that there are special, strange gifted people in the world and they have to be treated with understanding (175). When something is unorthodox it breaks with convention or tradition. All of the characters in the novella ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' took delight in unique unorthodox ways. Homosexuality was considered to be unorthodox in the fifties and some people even consider it to be unorthodox today.<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly was unorthodox by leaving her husband and by embracing homosexuality like she did. Tison Pugh writes, &quot;...we can see that Holly's friendships with gay men are one sign of her progressive sexual politics&quot; (2). Holly believed in things that were unconventional and unorthodox. Paul Levine writes that,&quot;...Holly too is a hard-headed romantic, a [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pragmatic pragmatic] [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=idealist idealist]&quot; (351). Holly definitely took delight in her unorthodox ways. Not only did Holly Golightly take delight in her unorthodox ways, but the narrator also took delight in his unorthodox ways.<br /> <br /> The narrator was more content with just being himself than he was with fitting the mold. Holly Golightly says that all straight men either like baseball or horses, and in her apartment there are books about horses and baseball. The narrator goes over to the book shelf and pretends to be interested when he says, &quot;Pretending an interest in horseflesh and How to Tell It gave me sufficiently private opportunity for sizing Holly's friends&quot; (Capote 35). If the narrator had liked baseball he would have picked up a book on baseball instead of pretending he liked horses. In other words the narrator is gay, and he is not really concerned with other's thoughts. <br /> <br /> Joe Bell is also a different type of character. He owns a bar, pops tums like candy, and takes care of flowers. Joe Bell's hobbies are hockey players, [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art4814.asp weimaraner dogs], and [http://math.boisestate.edu/GaS/ Gilbert and Sullivan] (Capote 4). The narrator even goes on to say that Joe Bell is related to either Gilbert or Sullivan. &quot;Since Sullivan is rumored to be have been a homosexual...the passage slyly hints that the bartender is part of Sullivan's family, a fellow gay man to his beloved composer&quot; (Tison 2). Joe Bell also &quot;arranges flowers with matronly care&quot; (Capote 5). In today's society a masculine straight man does not arrange flowers with matronly care. All three of the main characters took delight in their unorthodox ways.<br /> <br /> ===Quest for Home/Belonging===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly is a pure example of someone that is untameable. It's no wonder how she got that way. Doc Golightly, her husband, says, &quot;Story was: their mother died of TB ([http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/faqs/qa.htm Tuberculosis]), and their papa done the same - and all the churren, a whole raft of 'em, they been sent off to live with different mean people&quot; (Capote 68). From that line it is obvious that Holly Golightly never really had a home. She appears to spend the rest of her time trying to find one.<br /> <br /> One home that Holly has is at Tiffany's. Holly says, &quot;It calms me down right away, the quietness and proud look of it; nothing bad could happen to you there, not with those kind of men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real life place that made me feel like Tiffany's, then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name&quot; (Capote 40). Matthew Cash states that this scene shows Holly's innocence and search for a home (3).<br /> <br /> Holly spends much of her time trying to belong to something or someone while at the same time trying not to. Perhaps she had abandonment issues. &quot;On the first night that Holly came to visit the narrator in his appartment she ends up sleeping beside him, showing that Holly needs someone who is comforting instead of lusting toward her&quot; (Cash 4). Perhaps Holly just needed to feel a love that didn't require anything back of her. Holly was human and she desired love, but at the same time she retreated when the narrator asked her why she was crying. Holly jumps up and heads for the window while hollering, &quot;I hate snoops&quot; (Capote 27). Holly had a desire for a home and a place to belong, but she appeared to be very leary of it all.<br /> <br /> ===Never Love a Wild Thing===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly considered herself to be wild. She gives Joe Bell this speach and she says, &quot;Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell...That was Doc's mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky&quot; (Capote 74).<br /> <br /> Holly goes on to say, &quot;Good luck: and believe me, dearest Doc - it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear&quot; (Capote 74). In one sentence she is telling Joe Bell not to love a wild thing and in the next she is admitting how unhappy she is. In the beginning of the story Joe Bell admits his love for Holly when he says, &quot;Sure I loved her. But it wasn't that I wanted to touch her&quot; (Capote 9). Maybe Holly knew about Joe Bell's love and was trying to warn him not to love her. While Holly admitted that she was wild she also admitted that she was unhappy.<br /> <br /> ===Joy/Difficulty of Traveling===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly is a traveler who is searching for somewhere to call home. She even goes so far as to say:&quot;...home is where you feel at home. I'm still looking,&quot; she says (Capote 102). Everything she does throughout the book is based on that very way she looks at life (Cash). &quot;I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does, they might as well be dead&quot; (Capote 19). <br /> <br /> Holly only seems to find happiness for a short time and it is quickly followed by something that drives her away. She has bad memories of almost every step of the way. From her marriage to Doc in Texas to her many male callers in New York, there is always something that drives at her. <br /> <br /> Holly's age, inexperience, and lack of direction may contribute to her inability to be happy. Her age is revealed by the narrarator:&quot;I thought her anywhere between sixteen and thirty; as it turned out, she was shy two months of her nineteenth birthday.&quot;(Capote 12-13). Her inexperience and young age has her unsure what she really wants out of her life. Holly would finally come to realization after losing her no-name cat. And even at the end of the novel, she is still in search of home.<br /> <br /> ==Major Symbols==<br /> ===Tiffany's===<br /> <br /> Tiffany's is a jewelry store Holly feels is the best place for her to calm down and feel at home. She explains it as the cure for her &quot;mean reds&quot; to the narrarator (Cash):&quot;What I've found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's,&quot; Holly says (Capote 40).<br /> <br /> Tiffany's also symbolizes what Holly is searching for: a place she feels she belongs. A place she feels no harm can be done to her and she feels safe around men in particular.&quot;It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets&quot; (Capote 40).<br /> <br /> ===The &quot;Mean Reds&quot;===<br /> <br /> The &quot;mean reds&quot; was a reoccuring problem Holly has. The narrarator first associated the &quot;mean reds&quot; with the blues (Cash). Holly is quick to denounce that theory. &quot;No, the blues are because you're getting fat or maybe it's been raining too long. You're sad, that's all. But the mean reds are horrible. You're afraid and you sweat like hell, but you don't know what you're afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don't know what it is&quot;(Capote 40). The narrarator makes another attempt to give an explanation by calling it angst, claiming everyone feels that same way (Cash). Holly takes the suggestion of Rusty Trawler and smokes marijuana and took an aspirin.<br /> <br /> ===The Fat Lady===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The Cat===<br /> Although Holly tries to act like the cat doesn't really matter to her as a possession, she really does feel that it belongs to her. Holly never really admits this fact until she leaves the cat, then can't find it. &quot;Oh Jesus God. we did belong to each other. He was mine.&quot; (Capote 109) The cat is one of the few things that holly truly feels is hers. Every time the cat appears in the story he seems to be the exact opposite of Holly, or acting in a complete opposite manner as Holly. &quot;Her at losing her nameless, battered &quot;slob&quot; of a cat, far from being a sentimental excess on her part (and the narrator's), is an intensely serious expression of profound fear of relinquishment.&quot; (Nance) Holly shares a feeling of not belonging and acting on a moments notice with the cat. &quot;Like the ugly tom cat she picks up by the river one day, her existence is improvised&quot; (Hassan) Holly finally shows her fear of &quot;perpetual homelessness&quot; (Hassan) when she drops the cat off in Spanish Harlem, and after not being able to find it says: “I’m very scared, Buster. Yes, at last. Because it could go on forever. Not knowing what's yours until you've thrown it away.&quot; (Capote 109)<br /> <br /> ===The Bird Cage===<br /> <br /> The narrator gives Holly the bird cage as a gift. The bird cage cost three-hundred fifty dollars. The bird cage came from Tiffany's. In return Holly gives the narrtor a Saint Christopher's Metal.<br /> <br /> ==Influences==<br /> <br /> ==Additional Resources==<br /> *Capote, Truman. &lt;em&gt;The Complete Stories of Truman Capote.&lt;/em&gt; New York: The Random House Publishing Group, 2004.<br /> <br /> *Clarke, Gerald. &lt;i&gt;Capote: A Biography&lt;/i&gt;.

<p>Trichards: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> [[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]<br /> 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 &quot;abandoned possessions&quot; 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.<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> *'''Arican Hut''' (111) - A single story [http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/mip/leprosy/huts.jpg building] made up of natural materials usually wood, which is used for shelter or a house.<br /> *'''Brazil''' (110) - The largest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil country] in Eastern South America that was founded by the Portuguese in the 1500.

<p>Trichards: /* Commentary */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> [[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]<br /> 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 &quot;abandoned possessions&quot; 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.

<p>Trichards: /* Works Cited */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> [[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]<br /> 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 &quot;abandoned possessions&quot; 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.

<p>Trichards: /* Commentary */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> [[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. &quot;Divorce him? Of course I never divorced him. I was only fourteen, for God's sake. It couldn't have been legal&quot; (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. &quot;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&quot; (Capote 73). She is telling the protangist and Joe that she feels that Doc's mistake was his &quot;love&quot; for wild things. Holly offers a toast to Doc, believeing that he has made it to the Blue Mountains. <br /> == Notes ==<br /> <br /> * '''tums''' (72)- an [http://tums.com antacid] for gas &quot;You're rockin' the boat kinda early,&quot; he complained, crunching on a Tums (Capote 72).<br /> <br /> * '''rounds''' (72)- a set of drinks bought by and individual for another person or a group of people. &quot;It was not yet noon...and he'd already served us three rounds&quot; (Capote 72).<br /> <br /> * '''Lulamae''' (73)- Holly Golightly's name was Lulamae Barnes before she married Doc Golightly. &quot;Her name's not Holly. She was a Lulamae Barnes. Was...&quot;(Capote 66).<br /> <br /> * '''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,&quot;He must be in the Blue Mountains by now&quot; (Capote 74).<br /> == Commentary ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bus.jpg|thumb|Doc leaves]] &quot;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&quot; (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. &quot;a wild and homeless love of freedom.&quot; (Hassan) <br /> <br /> Throughout the entire novella one theme keeps popping up. The theme is love. &quot;''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&quot; (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, &quot;Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot. I've always remembered Doc in my prayers...&quot; (Capote 73). Truman Capote created a masterpiece that everyone can relate to.<br /> <br /> == Study Questions ==<br /> <br /> # What time are Holly and the protangist at Joe Bell's bar?

<p>Trichards: /* Summary */</p> <hr /> <div>== Summary ==<br /> [[Image:Section 13.jpg|thumb| Holly and the cat]]<br /> 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 &quot;abandoned possessions&quot; are sold, and a man name 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.

The narrator finds out that Holly Golightly's real name is Lulamae and that she married Doc at the age of fourteen. Holly never divorced Doc. She says,&quot;Divorce him? Of course I never divorced him. I was only fourteen, for God's sake. It couldn't have been legal&quot; (Capote 72). Holly gets really drunk and then tells the narrator and Joe Bell what had happened the night before. Holly slept with Doc and justified the act by saying, &quot;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&quot; (Capote 73). After that Holly and Doc went to the bus station, and Doc thought that Holly was going to leave with him. Holly does not leave with Doc. Instead she realizes that she is the same person now as she was when she was fourteen. She calls her problems the mean reds. &quot;Capote uses some of his best dramatic irony in the novel with the characterization of Doc Golightly.

<p>Trichards: /* Delight in the Unorthodox */</p> <hr /> <div>==Factual Information==<br /> A [[novel]]/[[novella]] by American writer [[Truman Capote]] published in 1958 by Random House, Inc., New York.<br /> <br /> ==Study Guide==<br /> Below are the thirteen major sections of the [[novella]].

When something is unorthodox it breaks with convention or tradition. All of the characters in the novella ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' took delight in unique unorthodox ways. Homosexuality was considered to be unorthodox in the fifties and some people even consider it to be unorthodox today.<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly was unorthodox by leaving her husband and by embracing homosexuality like she did. Tison Pugh writes, &quot;...we can see that Holly's friendships with gay men are one sign of her progressive sexual politics&quot; (2). Holly believed in things that were unconventional and unorthodox. Paul Levine writes that,&quot;...Holly too is a hard-headed romantic, a [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pragmatic pragmatic] [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=idealist idealist]&quot; (351). Holly definitely took delight in her unorthodox ways. Not only did Holly Golightly take delight in her unorthodox ways, but the narrator also took delight in his unorthodox ways.<br /> <br /> The narrator was more content with just being himself than he was with fitting the mold. Holly Golightly says that all straight men either like baseball or horses, and in her apartment there are books about horses and baseball. The narrator goes over to the book shelf and pretends to be interested when he says, &quot;Pretending an interest in horseflesh and How to Tell It gave me sufficiently private opportunity for sizing Holly's friends&quot; (Capote 35). If the narrator had liked baseball he would have picked up a book on baseball instead of pretending he liked horses. In other words the narrator is gay, and he is not really concerned with other's thoughts. <br /> <br /> Joe Bell is also a different type of character. He owns a bar, pops tums like candy, and takes care of flowers. Joe Bell's hobbies are hockey players, [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art4814.asp weimaraner dogs], and [http://math.boisestate.edu/GaS/ Gilbert and Sullivan] (Capote 4). The narrator even goes on to say that Joe Bell is related to either Gilbert or Sullivan. &quot;Since Sullivan is rumored to be have been a homosexual...the passage slyly hints that the bartender is part of Sullivan's family, a fellow gay man to his beloved composer&quot; (Tison 2). Joe Bell also &quot;arranges flowers with matronly care&quot; (Capote 5). In today's society a masculine straight man does not arrange flowers with matronly care. All three of the main characters took delight in their unorthodox ways.<br /> <br /> ===Quest for Home/Belonging===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly is a pure example of someone that is untameable. It's no wonder how she got that way. Doc Golightly, her husband, says, &quot;Story was: their mother died of TB ([http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/faqs/qa.htm Tuberculosis]), and their papa done the same - and all the churren, a whole raft of 'em, they been sent off to live with different mean people&quot; (Capote 68). From that line it is obvious that Holly Golightly never really had a home. She appears to spend the rest of her time trying to find one.<br /> <br /> One home that Holly has is at Tiffany's. Holly says, &quot;It calms me down right away, the quietness and proud look of it; nothing bad could happen to you there, not with those kind of men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real life place that made me feel like Tiffany's, then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name&quot; (Capote 40). Matthew Cash states that this scene shows Holly's innocence and search for a home (3).<br /> <br /> Holly spends much of her time trying to belong to something or someone while at the same time trying not to. Perhaps she had abandonment issues. &quot;On the first night that Holly came to visit the narrator in his appartment she ends up sleeping beside him, showing that Holly needs someone who is comforting instead of lusting toward her&quot; (Cash 4). Perhaps Holly just needed to feel a love that didn't require anything back of her. Holly was human and she desired love, but at the same time she retreated when the narrator asked her why she was crying. Holly jumps up and heads for the window while hollering, &quot;I hate snoops&quot; (Capote 27). Holly had a desire for a home and a place to belong, but she appeared to be very leary of it all.<br /> <br /> ===Never Love a Wild Thing===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly considered herself to be wild. She gives Joe Bell this speach and she says, &quot;Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell...That was Doc's mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky&quot; (Capote 74).<br /> <br /> Holly goes on to say, &quot;Good luck: and believe me, dearest Doc - it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear&quot; (Capote 74). In one sentence she is telling Joe Bell not to love a wild thing and in the next she is admitting how unhappy she is. In the beginning of the story Joe Bell admits his love for Holly when he says, &quot;Sure I loved her. But it wasn't that I wanted to touch her&quot; (Capote 9). Maybe Holly knew about Joe Bell's love and was trying to warn him not to love her. While Holly admitted that she was wild she also admitted that she was unhappy.<br /> <br /> ===Joy/Difficulty of Traveling===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly is a traveler who is searching for somewhere to call home. She even goes so far as to say:&quot;...home is where you feel at home. I'm still looking,&quot; she says (Capote 102). Everything she does throughout the book is based on that very way she looks at life. &quot;I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does, they might as well be dead&quot; (Capote 19). <br /> <br /> Holly only seems to find happiness for a short time and it is quickly followed by something that drives her away. She has bad memories of almost every step of the way. From her marriage to Doc in Texas to her many callers in New York, there is always something that drives at her. <br /> <br /> Holly's age, inexperience, and lack of direction may contribute to her inability to be happy. Her age is revealed by the narrarator:&quot;I thought her anywhere between sixteen and thirty; as it turned out, she was shy two months of her nineteenth birthday.&quot;(Capote 12-13). Her inexperience and young age has her unsure what she really wants out of her life. Holly would finally come to realization after losing her no-name cat. And even at the end of the novel, she is still in search of home.<br /> <br /> ==Major Symbols==<br /> ===Tiffany's===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The &quot;Mean Reds&quot;===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The Fat Lady===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The Cat===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The Bird Cage===<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Influences==<br /> <br /> ==Additional Resources==<br /> *Capote, Truman. &lt;em&gt;The Complete Stories of Truman Capote.&lt;/em&gt; New York: The Random House Publishing Group, 2004.<br /> <br /> *Clarke, Gerald. &lt;i&gt;Capote: A Biography&lt;/i&gt;.

<p>Trichards: /* Quest for Home/Belonging */</p> <hr /> <div>==Factual Information==<br /> A [[novel]]/[[novella]] by American writer [[Truman Capote]] published in 1958 by Random House, Inc., New York.<br /> <br /> ==Study Guide==<br /> Below are the thirteen major sections of the [[novella]]. Since Capote did not use chapters, these are indicated by the double line break on the page. There might be more sections, or a more logical means of distinguishing them, but these arbitrary divisions will work for our purposes.<br /> <br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 1|Section one (3-14)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 2|Section two (14-47)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 3|Section three (47-53)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 4|Section four (53-55)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 5|Section five (55-63)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 6|Section six (63-72)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 7|Section seven (72-74)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 8|Section eight (74-85)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 9|Section nine (85-93)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 10|Section ten (93-97)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 11|Section eleven (97-104)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 12|Section twelve (104-109)]]<br /> #[[Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 13|Section thirteen (109-111)]]<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> ===Capote/Narrator===<br /> <br /> ===Holly Golightly===<br /> <br /> ===Joe Bell===<br /> <br /> ==Major Themes==<br /> ===Delight in the Unorthodox===<br /> Plimpton writes that the theme in ''Breakfast at Tiffany’s'' is that there are special, strange gifted people in the world and they have to be treated with understanding (175). When something is unorthodox it breaks with convention or tradition. All of the characters in the novella ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' took delight in unique unorthodox ways. Homosexuality was considered to be unorthodox in the fifties and some people even consider it to be unorthodox today. Holly Golightly was unorthodox by leaving her husband and by embracing homosexuality like she did. Tison Pugh writes, &quot;...we can see that Holly's friendships with gay men are one sign of her progressive sexual politics&quot; (2). Holly believed in things that were unconventional and unorthodox. Paul Levine writes that,&quot;...Holly too is a hard-headed romantic, a [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pragmatic pragmatic] [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=idealist idealist]&quot; (351). Holly definitely took delight in her unorthodox ways. Not only did Holly Golightly take delight in her unorthodox ways, but the narrator also took delight in his unorthodox ways. He was more content with just being himself than he was with fitting the mold. Holly Golightly says that all straight men either like baseball or horses, and in her apartment there are books about horses and baseball. The narrator goes over to the book shelf and pretends to be interested when he says, &quot;Pretending an interest in horseflesh and How to Tell It gave me sufficiently private opportunity for sizing Holly's friends&quot; (Capote 35). If the narrator had liked baseball he would have picked up a book on baseball instead of pretending he liked horses. In other words the narrator is gay, and he is not really concerned with what other's thoughts. Joe Bell is also a different type of character. He owns a bar, pops tums like candy, and takes care of flowers. Joe Bell's hobbies are hockey players, [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art4814.asp weimaraner dogs], and [http://math.boisestate.edu/GaS/ Gilbert and Sullivan] (Capote 4). The narrator even goes on to say that Joe Bell is related to either Gilbert or Sullivan. &quot;Since Sullivan is rumored to be have been a homosexual...the passage slyly hints that the bartender is part of Sullivan's family, a fellow gay man to his beloved composer&quot; (Tison 2). Joe Bell also &quot;arranges flowers with matronly care&quot; (Capote 5). In today's society a masculine straight man does not arrange flowers with matronly care. All three of the main characters took delight in their unorthodox ways.<br /> <br /> ===Quest for Home/Belonging===<br /> <br /> Holly Golightly is a pure example of someone that is untameable. It's no wonder how she got that way. Doc Golightly, her husband, says, &quot;Story was: their mother died of TB ([http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/faqs/qa.htm Tuberculosis]), and their papa done the same - and all the churren, a whole raft of 'em, they been sent off to live with different mean people&quot; (Capote 68).
