Abstract

This paper deals with Holly Golightly, the protagonist of Truman Capote’s short novel Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958). In accordance with it, the article explores the sense of her strong freedom and independence, her self-made character in a way. It also studies her connection with literary forebears as Sally Bowles, Emma Bovary and Jay Gatsby. Likewise I try to show the differences between the novel and the movie of Blake Edwards (1961).
