Water for Elephants is a Historical Fiction Romance Novel written by Sara Gruen as a part of National Novel Writing Month about circus life in Depression-era America. It was first published on May 26, 2006.When 23-year-old Jacob Jankowski's parents are killed in a car crash a week before he completes veterinary school at Cornell University, he finds himself left with nothing after he fails to reclaim his parents' property. In a moment of impulse, he skips out on his exams, runs out of town, and jumps on a train, unaware that it is the train of the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth circus. He soon makes a deal with circus owner and ringmaster Uncle Al to stay with the circus in exchange for becoming the circus veterinarian. Along the way, he gets to know August Rosenbluth (a charming, but sometimes violent animal trainer), his wife, Marlena (the star of the equestrian act whom Jacob falls in love with), and several other workers and performers. However, once the show acquires an elephant named Rosie, a complicated series of events occurs where Jacob soon learns of the circus' darker side, and struggles to find a way to leave the show without bringing harm and danger to himself or his new friends.The narrative alternates between the perspective of 23-year-old Jacob with the circus, and 93-year-old Jacob at a nursing home, chafing against enforced inactivity and anticipating a visit to a present-day circus that has come to town.The book was later adapted into a film starring Robert Pattinson as Jacob, Reese Witherspoon as Marlena, and Christoph Waltz as August. It was released in 2011 to modest success.The book is also set to have another adaptation in the form of a Broadway musical, which will begin previews in February of 2024. Grant Gustin and Isabelle Mc Calla have been cast as Jacob and Marlena, respectively. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
Water for Elephants / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Discussed by Jacob and Rosemary in the retirement home: The man claiming to have worked for the circus obviously never did, but he isn't lying because he truly believes it is the truth. He's just too senile to remember his own history. It is also strongly implied that Jacob is similarly going senile and may not be entirely clear on his own past. | |

Title Drop | |
Water for Elephants / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: In the retirement home, one of the other retirees begins to gather all sorts of attention and adoration for himself by telling everyone that he used to work in a circus, carrying water for elephants. This pisses Jacob off, partially because he worked for the circus in his younger years, and knows that elephants drink far too much water to make carrying it by hand practical. In the movie, this is used when one of the performers jokingly suggests that they they give Jacob a job getting water for the elephants. It has a different explanation than the book, as it's an Impossible Task because they don't HAVE an elephant. | |

Mistaken for Cheating: Marlena plans a surprise dinner party for August, with Jacob helping set it up. August walks in and sees the two of them opening a bottle of champagne, jumping to the worst conclusion. The fact that Rosie The Elephant is also in the tent with them surprisingly does little to allay his suspicions. | |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: After Walter and Camel are thrown off the train, Jacob is at first panicked, then recalls the train wasn't moving very fast, starts to relax and is confident that he'll be able to backtrack and find them, using the trestle they'd passed by around that times a reference point for where to look, then he freezes, as he correctly begins to worry that they were thrown off as the train passed over that trestle. | |

(He does assure that he would love and care for the child of his own no matter what.) His suspicions are relieved when the child is born and has his bright red hair. | |

Jacob says his prayers in Polish near the beginning and later we find that Rosie only understands Polish commands. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Jacob gets extremely drunk at one point and is sexually humiliated by two of the circus hookers. What they do to him can definitely be considered sexual assault. Jacob wakes up the next morning with a painted face, shaved testicles, and having little idea what happened the night before, explicitly saying he "Didn't know if he was still a virgin..." This incident is mentioned few times after that. | |

Slut-Shaming: Most notable in the movie. August taunts Marlena and Jacob, forcing them to act out 'a performance for the show' where Jacob making a pass at Marlena, who resists, 'protecting her honor'. He then says, (essentially) "The audience will eat that right up, they won't see that you don't have any honor to lose..." He then repeatedly calls her a whore. | |
