Breakfast at Tiffany's (Penguin Essentials) の感想

This is one of Capote’s masterpieces that date back to 1958. It becomes world-wide famous by its film in which Audrey Hepburn has played the heroine. She, the novel’s main character, comes from the country in Texas to Manhattan in N.Y. , and enjoys free life by drinking and spending with many men. Tiffany is not a restaurant as shown in the title but a luxury jewelly shop. The title comes from the fact that the quiet atmosphere and the proud look of the shop have attracted and impressed her. Discriminatory languages scattered in this story make us feel the dark-side of the American history. I feel that this novel warns society that capitalism brings laziness to some people while wealth and power to the other people.
