Capote uses an anecdote to help his readers formulate where Perry came from and how he became abnormal. After Perry made an “admission he hated to make” of himself and Dick having to be crazy, after killing a perfect family, Capote says: “His mother an alcoholic, had strangled to death on her own vomit. Of her children two sons and two daughters, only the young girl, Barbara, had entered ordinary life, married, begun raising a family. Fern the other daughter, jumped out the window of a San Francisco hotel.

Throughout the story, Munro has been preparing us for the tragic event, and when we read the “It got worse, gradually”, we feel the curiosity growing. It follows up by a lot of irony, which in many cases makes the reader to re-read - for instance when Lloyd says, "Think of the children", or another example would be Lloyds telephone conversation with Maggie after he had murdered the children (the tragic event). Throughout the text, Munro makes it very clear that Lloyd is a cruel man. Munro is quite relentless in turning the reader against Lloyd, and just when you think there could not be anything worse he could do to earn our condemnation (murdering his own kids with his bare hands), Munro astounds the reader with the line, "You brought it all on

This hate is showing that people still have hate for each other and still want to kill each other but it also shows the true human he is by helping her when she was threatened.

Creon using his own form of divine justification explains,”…you are saying what is intolerable, when you say that Divinities have providential concern for this corpse…this fellow who Came to burn the temples girded with columns…(282,286). It becomes evident in these lines that Creon believes that it’s only natural to punish the wicked for their part in harming Thebes. However, Creon’s biggest weakness comes from openly defying both the family bond and set of divine laws that govern the deceased. He “acts pitilessly towards Polyneices’ already grieving relatives by further inflaming their grief”(Ahrensdorf and Pangle 144).
