In the third part of In Cold Blood Capote shows how Dick is truly a sick and twisted individual. Dick’s obsession with young girls is apparent throughout the course of the novel, but primarily in the third section of In Cold Blood this concept shines through. “ You’re my baby girl . My little sweetheart.” But she objected. Her hand, held by his , twitched like a fish on a hook, and he recognized the astounded expression in her eyes from earlier incidents in his career”(201). This quotation truly portrays how Dick takes advantage of adolescent teenage girls for his own desires. Dick as stated in the quotation has taken advantage of young girls before. This concept also applies in the relationship between Dick and Perry, and how Perry is like a young adolescent girl that Dick wishes to manipulate. It can also be inferred that Dick is not a normal person whereas in earlier in the novel Dick states that he is in fact the “normal” person between him and Perry. Yet a normal person does not try to seduce girls half their own age .
