To say that Capote was fascinated by the murder, it would be better to say that he was fascinated by the murderer Perry. He saw his own shadow in Perry. The two share similar unfortunate childhood experiences, "Perry and I are like children who grew up in the same house. One day he went out the back door, and I went out the front door." Two people with the same background and different destiny , in the process of appealing and writing, a competition of emotions and interests began, both of whom hope to get what they need from the other party, but are afraid of what they have to pay. This is actually a struggle for Capote's inflated ego. He sympathizes with another possible self, but he can't let go of his self-satisfaction with his current self. He's doomed to be the loser in this battle, and Cold Blood ultimately cuts himself to pieces.
