Also, both Capotes were similar because of their relationship with Perry Smith, one of the two murderers. In Capote in Kansas, it clearly showed that Capote had strong, passionate feelings for Perry. “I just wanted to cheer you up.” This was shown as Capote tried to cheer up Perry by attempting to kiss him. They eventually became friends.
