Section 53
Second formal assignment

Topic 1
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a story, written by Truman Capote, which takes place during
the World War II
...
He moves back into this apartment where he had lived once
before because he wants to pursue his dream to become a writer
...

The whole story arises here, in the night when narrator meets Holly for the first time face-toface
...
Even though, it is
somehow difficult for us to be able to analyze Holly’s character, because we can judge her and
we are able to know her only through the opinions that the narrator gives us from his perspective
point of view
...
However, in one hand we can describe Holly as
a charming lady, fully conscious, and a person who is able to take control of her actions
...
Instead, the third character of Holly can be described as a person that cares about
material conditions, it is weak, self-centered person, and doesn’t care about anyone around her
...

Her whole life revolves around material conditions
...
Every week, on Thursday, she goes for a visit to alleged mobster
Sally Tomato
...
She
doesn’t care to know what does those weather reports means, and she is not interested to ask for
what they are, the only thing that she wants to know is that she will take a hundred euros every
Thursday, when she goes at the prison to visit him
...
Even that she risks herself by lying that she is
his niece; she still continues doing so as long as she will get a hundred dollars after every visit
...
Just
messages I leave with the answering service so Mr
...
Furthermore, we can support this opinion also with another detail
such as the name of the whole novel: Tiffany
...
She loves Tiffany so much, and she is the only character of the novel that
talks about this place
...
It is a place that represents the
upper class of people
...
We understand this for the ways that she
describes this place, and from the way that she talks for this place as it is something splendid,
and that she feels safe every time she has the opportunity to go there
...

Moreover, Holly is not a sensitive person when it comes to love
...
She just goes through for what she finds interesting
...
In this type of situations she appears as a selfish person and she is not happy as
long as her interests are not fulfilled
...
We can understand this
at the last part of the story when Holly after a very long time sends a letter to the narrator
...
But the man with whom she has fallen in love is married and also
it is a rich person
...
Not Tiffany's, but almost
...
Love? Think so
...
Mille tendresse
...
Here for the second time we can
understand that Holly doesn’t care for anyone else feelings, she doesn’t mind that she has ruin
someone’s marriage, and has ruin someone’s family, but all that matters for her is that the man
who she has fallen in love with is a rich person
...
She is shown to us as a reticent and
typically self-centered person
...
At the beginning of the story when she goes to the narrator room she starts feeling safe
with him same as she has felt with her brother Fred, but when the narrator asks her for what is
she crying for she goes out of the room and doesn’t want to talk about that
...
It gives the impression that she is not
very keen to talk about the personal events in her life and mostly her past life happenings are the

things that afflict her the mostly
...
No one has ever known her real name until her husband came and said to the narrator
“Her name's not Holly
...
Was until she married me
...
Until now no one has ever known what has happened in her life before nor did they
know that she was married once with an old man probably with the same age as her father might
have been
...
She is described as an ironic person that doesn’t have one main personality
...
However, there are three characters that she
represents to us through this story
...
Also we can understand this character as a person that has been lost in her life
and that all the time she fights with everything and with all of the difficulties that life brought to
her
