Dick And Perry's feelings of being inferior

Dick and Perry within the fourth part of In Cold blood have shown that the feel that they are inferior humans to the "normal" people. These two men believe that they need to take and ruin the lives of these "normal" people so that they can feel fufilled and happy. " Despite the violence in their lives, all of the men had ego-images of themselves as physically inferior, weak and inadequate"(299). This wuotation as stated in the scene of Dick and Perry's trial show how these two meneven through past experiences in their lives portray the emotion of subserviency to the "normal' inhabitants of the world. The quotation also shows how Dick and Perry are portrayed as less than human as animals, and that the world is against them. Dick's false facade of being a tough guy is very transparent and one can see the true and cowardess nature of this man. Perry has in some ways come to terms with his fate. Perry ses what he has done as "unforgiveable" and he is truly going to die for his horrid crime.
