Thirst for Knowledge
Perry may be a killer and a follower, but he has a deep desire for knowledge and without money and commitment enough for an education was never able to get that comprehension before his death. Perry meets Andy and from then on can’t stand him for having a better education. It also doesn’t help that Perry gets angry easily. When first meeting Andy: “Perry…imagined himself more learned than most of his acquaintances, and enjoyed correcting them, especially their grammar and pronunciation. But here suddenly was someone—‘just a kid!’—constantly correcting him” (317). Perry liked being the one that knew everything, enjoying his one small advantage and power when dealing with others. When Andy comes along and starts to correct him, Perry is shown what his dream would be, but to never get the chance upsets Perry and makes him feel inferior. Andy is “the one thing in the world Perry wants to be—educated. And Perry couldn’t forgive him for it” (333). Now, with his anger rising, Perry seems as though he could kill Andy as he did the Clutters. His lust for knowledge overpowers him even more than anything else previously could.

I wouldn’t call it anger, I rather think it left Perry feel inferior and week, deflated and wonrable. Maybe he recognized something of himself in Andy, making him withdraw in prison
