In the second part of Capote's non-fiction novel “In Cold Blood”, the monster side of Perry slowly disappears and a softer side appears. After murdering the Clutter family, Perry and Dick drive over 400 miles from Holcomb to Kansas City. Here Perry reads an article about the murder, and begins to worry about being caught. Perry says he has hunches, and he follows those hunches in order to save his life. Perry repeats that he has a hunch that the police is coming after them, until Dick becomes very annoyed. Then once Perry stops annoying Dick with his hunches he begins wondering how the two of them “honest to god going to get away with doing a thing like that.”(Capote 110). Perry does not believe that two men could commit a murder, or such a horrible act, and receive no punishment for the crime. A correlation can be to the Code of Hammurabi. Hammurabi was an ancient Babylonian ruler which came up with the law “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”. This law says that any man who commits a crime will receive equal punishment. For example of you kill a man then your punishment would be execution. In Perry's case, the punishment would also be execution. By comparing Perry's way of thinking to a great Babylonian ruler's, Capote once again shows the intellectuality of Perry.
