[[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.

When Holly | When Holly says, "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. | Throughout the entire novella one theme keeps popping up. The theme is love.
