The title MIAMI IN NEW YORK reinforces several core themes:
• Geographical Conflict: It directly contrasts the two primary settings, mirroring the tension between the hot, exposed violence in Florida (Chapters 3 & 5) and the brutal, chilling efficiency in New York (Chapters 1 & 7).
• Protagonist's Identity: It focuses on the protagonist's name, Miami, emphasizing her personal journey and identity crisis as she tries to survive the Mob's world.
• Fish-Out-of-Water Theme: The title implies that the character Miami fundamentally doesn't belong in the cold, ruthless environment of New York crime, setting up her eventual decision to betray the family.
