He and his family resided and live off land as independent people. This existence however, was arbitrarily annihilated by Dick Hickock and Perry Smith- men who were different to this family in all ways imaginable. Despite the Clutter’s supposed success in ‘living the dream’, this success did not equalise with security. In their murder, they were stripped of , as author Thomas Wolfe stated, “ the right to live, to work, to be himself, and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him.” On page 69 of the novel, a schoolteacher in Holcomb is quoted saying ‘Feeling wouldn’t run half so high if this had happened to

When Candy fools himself, saying ‘You god-damn right we’re gonna do it’, we realize just how pathetic and vulnerable he is. It is very hard not to feel pity for him at this point. Overall, therefore, there are many characters in the book towards whom we feel sympathetic, and there are many who are also pathetic: generally the two things go together, but Curley is perhaps the exception who proves the
