I think the novel purposefully included such a small segment on Holly being pregnant because it is an extremely foreign thought to Holly herself, during her present life. She is not accepting of the life she is living, not yet. So, having a child at this point of her life is a reality she cannot fathom, although she want its at the same time?

I think Holly was very happy about her pregnancy with Jose because it opened up the possibility of a new successful life that she had always wished of. She would now be financially stable and have a family she never really had.

Both concepts, gender and identity both play such a large role into the creation of Breakfast at Tiffanys. In understanding, one's identity, understanding one's gender is also vital.

i didn't think of it as actions out of Jealousy, but maybe joe was right that she is jealous of young Holly who has her whole life ahead of her

I agree with Aidan, the movie did star the narrator as a prostitiute as well as holly but focus's more on the narrators part in being an escort. and we are less involved in the men she brings home rather than the women that the narrator is seeing.

I agree with Joe, Holly is so young and full of life I wouldn’t be surprised if many were jealous of her.

I think the idea that she is jealous of Holly is an interesting thought

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because it seemed like Madame Spanella was trying to show Holly she is in the wrong for doing what she is doing, as a woman

# data[].attributes.body
i think holly's sunglasses were a symbol because she used them as a mask or a shield to hide herself from the real world.I believe she did this because she was afraid of opening up to someone else which caused her to shield her way from everyone.

Throughout the novella, Capote makes strong statements about gender roles. One example of this is on page 87 with Madame Spanella. Why does Madame Spanella accept Quaintance Smith when she hated Holly? What is different about them? What does this say about gender roles? Does the film make as strong of a statement about gender roles that Capote intended to do in his novella?

i don't think they should make another movie because i feel like its the kind of movie that without the original characters it wouldnt be the same

# data[].attributes.body
I agree i feel like the hidden meanings in the book are a lot more accepted then they were when the movie was made

Yeah I agree with the fire escape being a safe spot for Holly

# data[].attributes.body
Fred is definitely an escape that provides Holly with comfort, awesome point Peter.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it is a really good point, pretty much any time Holly is real and vulnerable she is on the fire escape

# data[].attributes.body
I never thought of the importance of the fire escape, that was a great idea Krystianna.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you guys, she treats the cat as the way she wants to be treated, not committed to any place or anyone

# data[].attributes.body
The symbol that is most important is the birdcage. The reason being is that holly doesn't want to be held back or cooped up somewhere like a bird in the birdcage, therefore she doesn't want to be in a cage.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the cat has the most importance because holly does not name the cat as a way to show its freedom. She does not like or want to be controlled by others and she can reflect this on the cat. Ending also proved that Holly is learning to care for the cat

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most important symbol of the story is the Cat because it was used a lot in both in the movie and the book. The cat showed how Holly didn't want to commit to anything by not giving her a name.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most important symbol in the story is Holly's cat because in the beginning she will not claim it as hers or name it and by the end she wants to go back and get it. Therefore, it shows her growth as a person from the beginning to the end of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Peter her childhood definitely had some drastic affects on the type of person Holly is now.

# data[].attributes.body
I say the most important symbol is the cat, it portrays Holly's independence and how she doesn't want anything to break her freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
The birdcage because it shows how Holly can not be caged. She is wild and the book would not be the same if she was caged and tame.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Faith brought up Holly’s business card and the fact that it says traveling, it says a lot about her identity and lifestyle.

Therren made an excellent point the bird cage is an important symbol because of it’s relation to Holly.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the cat is the most important symbol because it shows holly's mental personality. Holly does not give the cat a name because she wants it to be a free-soul wandering around with no owner to care about.

There are many symbols in the novel, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Which symbol is most important to the story? Explain. Which symbol that is absent in the film has the greatest effect on the story? Symbols include: the cat, Thursdays, the birdcage, zoo, the horses, Holly’s “business” card, Holly’s sunglasses, Holly’s sports books with newspaper clippings, etc…

I agree, the ending in the book is certainly more impactful, and the movie ending was just just to please viewers. Trag made some awesome points.
