Truman Garcia Capote (/kəˈpoʊti/; was an American novelist, short story writer, screenwriter,

playwright, and actor. Several of his short stories, novels, and plays have been praised as literary
classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966),
which he labeled a "nonfiction novel". His works have been adapted into more than 20 films and
television dramas.

One day, the unnamed narrator learns that his old neighbor, Holly Golightly, was seen in Africa, where a
local artist carved her likeness into a piece of wood. He recalls how he met Holly when he first moved to
New York City as a struggling writer and rented an apartment in the same building as Holly.

Holly is a flighty, mysterious, and often painfully naive character who seems to live off the money given
to her by her rich friends and lovers. Once a week, she visits known gangster Sally Tomato in Prison,
where she receives latent messages, she delivers to Sally's lawyer in exchange for $100.

Holly's primary purpose is to marry rich and live a life of comfort and pleasure. She initially sets her
sights on Rusty Trawler, a rich playboy, but when he deserts her she turns her attention to Jose Ybarra-
Jaegar, a wealthy Brazilian man with dreams of becoming a politician. Futher, the narrator and Holly
become close friends.

There are some main character in this story. The first is "Narrator"

The reader will never know the name of the narrator and main character, whom Holly simple calls
"Fred" because he looks like her brother. During the time of his friendship with Holly, he is a young
writer struggling to make a name for himself in New York. The reader learns little about his life other
than his adventures with Holly, which reinforces his identity as a private "outsider" who, as Holly says,
"terribly wants to be inside, looking out.

second is Holly. At a time when the narrator meets her, she is eighteen years old, she is very thin and
has an unusually short hair. A young bride who ran away from her poor Texas(тексес) roots at the age of
fourteen, Holly earns a living as a companion for various rich and important men who pelt(осыпать) her
with money and expensive gifts. As her name suggests, she is flighty and unstable. With the help of the
narrator, Holly escapes New York after being arrested for conspiring (консперинг) with a mafia-backed
drug group, and begins a new life in South America.

Holly Golightly and the narrator represent the conflict between freedom and stability. This is the Central
theme of the novel and the character of Holly is built entirely around the fact that she is always moving,
looking for a place to call home. It is unclear whether she will find it or not. Ultimately, money becomes
one of the most important themes in the Novella, as it governs Holly's major life choices.

For Holly, the difference between stability and freedom is expressed by the two main characters in the
story: animals and Tiffany . Holly despises putting animals in cages and refuses to give her cat a name. As
a "wild creature", she feels that he does not "belong" to her. Her fantasy that one day she will have
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is absurd, since Tiffany does not serve food, indicating her choice to avoid
stability by throwing it into unreachable fantasy ideals.

By casting the two main characters on opposite sides of the border of stability / freedom, Capote
suggests that each has something to learn from the other. the influence of the two friends is evident in
their Christmas gift exchange, in which Holly gives the narrator a birdcage and the narrator gives her a
St. Christopher medal. Each gift illustrates the line between stability and freedom: Holly's gift is a cage,
but she will never imprison a bird, and the narrator's gift is a medal from the patron Saint of travel.

I recommend this book to all those who love drama and like to analyze the main characters. The main
idea of the book is expressed in the words of Holly: "never love a wild thing, Mr. bell, [ ... ] if you allow
yourself to love a wild thing, you will end up looking at the sky. "In this book," wild thing " is a metaphor
for Holly, a person who only listens to her heart, breaks the rules, and doesn't really care about the
future. She is one of those women who cannot be tamed and who are constantly searching for a place
that she calls "home".

In the end, the fate of Holly remains unclear, and this leaves us with many questions. Did she forget
about her friend and never write to him? Where had all this business taken her? Had she found the
perfect place where she felt like Tiffany's?
