The characters in the story are sometimes not really human.

All characters in the story, including the two women, are willing criminals who exist on the same bankrupt moral level. All are scum, and just because Violet and Corky fall for each other doesn't mean they somehow fall into a privileged state of grace in which vile behavior can be forgiven. So fundamentally unbelievable and unsympathetic is their romantic and criminal collaboration that one's sympathy eventually swings back toward the temperamental Caesar simply because he proves the smartest person onscreen.
All characters in the story, including the two female characters, They are all equally low moral wicked people. Everyone is scum, and Violet and Corky's love for each other doesn't mean their evil deeds can be forgiven. So, fundamentally, the love and complicity between the two is so unbelievable and unsympathetic that people turn to pity for Caesar, who is somewhat of the smartest character on the screen.
