Power & Social Status

"... he warned him that his society friends would react badly. Capote's reply, he said, was 'Nah, they're too dumb. They won't know who they are.'" From Feud: Capote vs the Swans: How a scandalous Truman Capote story exposed the secrets of US high society
"Capote's favourite swan and best friend, a perfect Proustian specimen, was Paley (Naomi Watts), serenely perfect in her demeanour and taste."

"...confided in him about their affairs, their philandering husbands and their insecurities, only to have their close friend mock them and reveal their most intimate secrets". Women (and men-but I feel like mostly women) were expected to be perfect and show no fault in high society.
"And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head."
This quote can be found in the poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Robinson. It shows how fake and misleading appearances can be, and the dark side of humans.
