Truman Capote accomplishes organic unity in In Cold Blood by focusing on one central theme throughout the novel: Christian ethics. The main story line of the Clutter family being brutally murdered is the central basis of where the theme of Christian ethics are created, maintained, and amplified through the story's parallels. These Christian ethics are the rights and the wrongs done according to what Jesus and God tell us to do, so the reader can positively use their Christian ethics. In the novel, words become images, symbols connect to the theme, and characters face ethical and unethical decisions. To effectively create, maintain, and amplify this theme of Christian ethics, the use of imagery, symbols, and characters create, maintain, and amplify the central theme throughout the book.
Imagery is a literary tool used to help support and sustain the theme of Christian ethics by showing unjust Christian ethics. Imagery is used to both create an image in the reader's mind and also to make the reader feel emotion. An example of imagery in the book is when the police come to investigate the Clutter's house. While the police are investigating, they come to the terms that Mr. Clutter "was dead before he was shot. Or, anyways, dying" which bases off that "his throat had been cut, too. He was wearing striped pajamas" and the criminals make sure he cannot warn others because "His mouth was taped; the tape had been wound plumb around his head" (Capote 69). This puts the image of how inhumane Dick and Perry treated Mr. Clutter. This makes the reader feel sympathy and great remorse for what has happened. By Dick and Perry killing the entire family inhumanly, they are going against major ethics in the Bible including "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). This helps to support the theme of Christian ethics because the death penalty in Kansas is enforced with murder crimes, so this is a double edge sword because the judge who sentences the death penalty would also be committing murder too, just in a different way.
