The "mean reds" was a reoccuring problem Holly has. The narrarator first associated the "mean reds" with the blues. Holly is quick to denounce that theory. "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"(Capote 40). The narrarator makes another attempt to give an explanation by calling it angst, claiming everyone feels that same way. Holly takes the suggestion of Rusty Trawler and smokes marijuana and took an aspirin. | The "mean reds" was a reoccuring problem Holly has.
