Talks about the reasons behind Capotes desires to write about a murder case, actual information from an interview where he tells all... essentially. He makes it somewhat obvious that a large factor in his writing of the murder was that he was try to start and did somewhat a new wave of writing, "new journalism"
After looking over the powerpointish sort of presentation the psychopathic and sociopathic symptoms displayed by Perry and dick are very similar to the type of behavior we see in protagonists in other novels, such as Darl and Victor who both share qualities such as appearing to be normal, and being charming.
Talks about the distinct difference between mental illness and insanity, and it is clear that Perry does display some of the signs of mental illness, and had those problems been addressed at a young age maybe the Clutter family would still be walking this earth today. Fitting the nature vs nurture theme it seems to be because of this neglect that perry receives at a young age his what seemed to be small defects or twitches per-say were likely overlooked but his adventurous father.
Mentions some of the physical and mental detriments of being raised in a neglectful home, and considering perry thought of himself as his fathers slave, it would be fair to say he was in some way shape or form neglected, and that even if the effects dont seem obvious they can effect social behavior...
Gives an overview of Capotes life which we learn nearly nothing about, his relationship with perry which is obviously sympathetic is somewhat odd, and after reading of his early nice, seeing the movement of his family and the divorce of his parents it makes you wonder if that sympathy stems from a connection he sees between himself and perry.

"The acts of holding, rocking, singing, feeding, gazing, kissing, and other nurturing behaviors involved in caring for infants and young children are bonding experiences. Factors crucial to bonding include time together" based off evidence like this, it is impossible to have foreshadowed a positive outcome for the monster, the closest he got to a bond was victors obsession with creating him, his entire conscious life he was neglected and mistreated
this study proves that what happened to the monster is not uncommon"...their parents makes it possible to demonstrate there is a direct causal effect of childhood adversity on child conduct disorder over and above any indirect genetic correlation." the neglect the monster received by victor frankenstein directly affects why the monster heads down his path of destruction
