  • It shares also the sense of crossing lines or boundaries and of otherworldliness. The enormous popularity of the Gothic novel had actually passed by 1816, but the genre, with its emphasis on darkness, madness, the supernatural, and strange passions, has never been fully dead.

    This talks about the theme of sanity vs insanity and chaos vs order. The gothic elements helps make the novel dark and chaotic in which Victor must define because of his responsibility. The helpful gothic elements of madness and darkenss help further these themes

  • Perry's mental health is even more questionable; he suffers from "'paranoid' orientation," "poorly controlled rage," and a disordered thought process

    This site discusses the question of sanity vs insanity as well as biases and prejudices on the part of Capote. The source makes clear that even nonfiction novels are bound to be subliminally prejudiced; in this case, Capote tries to subconsciously explain away and bring sympathy for the killers.

    "The most prolific narrator is Darl, the second-oldest son, who has unusual perceptive abilities but is committed to an insane asylum for setting fire to a barn in a futile attempt to end their ridiculous journey, a ten-day ordeal in July without the aid of embalming"

    This source provides a short but thorough analysis of the basic themes in the novel. The quote focuses on Darl, and his seemingly insane actions, which also seem very reasonable. This goes along with the theme of sanity vs. insanity.
