His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress.
As Capote’s twisted piece unravels readers perceive that Perry Smith is portrayed in a particularly sympathetic light. He infers that the influences of his childhood had major impacts and that his actions against the Clutters were but of course a subsequent extension of his childhood. Clinical determination by Dr Satten contended that it was not ‘flesh and blood’ itself that Perry was destroying but ‘a key figure in some traumatic configuration’.
