Sympathy

Because of the description Perry offered of the murders, it causes the reader to feel a large amount of sympathy for the Clutters; as they are presented as good people. As Perry describes what happened the night of the murder he keeps mentioning how Mr. Clutter was telling them please don't hurt my wife and she is an invalid. When you read about Perry quoting Mr. Clutter like he was trying to be polite while trying to save his wife makes everything he does makes you feel more sympathy for them. As Perry is telling the story of that night i believe that he feels sympathy for them also because Mr. Clutter was almost acting like he was on Perry and Dick's side when he was telling his wife that they just wanted money and then they would leave her alone.
