I'm not quite sure why this is considered a classic? The prose was fine, and there were some lines that I particularly enjoyed, but nothing stood out as exceptional. The plot with Holly Golightly reminded me of Jay Gatsby as both characters leave behind a difficult life for a new persona in New York City. However, Holly is more outwardly prejudiced and manipulative; the amount of racial and homophobic slurs said by her was overwhelming. I'm also not sure of what her motivation as a character is. And the narrator is a stand-in for the reader who has little personality to attach to.
