This episode is quite different than the others thus far, evoking the drama, dialogue, staging, and character exploration of a one-act play written by an author highly-regarded for their literature. It allows us to enter Capote's inner mind and witness the literary essence that has become trapped within his aging exterior, revealing the still-glowing genius & potential that he's smothered with alcoholism, and then camouflaged by theatrical antics & sulky procrastination.
Descriptions of aviary swans' behavior in the natural world, and their role in human society punctuate this episode, while parallels are drawn to Capote's human Swans, and their reigning class WASP lives, the direct descendants of the Gilded Age.
