Another example of how Truman Capote makes the reader feel sympathy for Perry and create an image in the reader's mind is the flashback into Perry's past with his father in Alaska. Perry is having an argument with his father and Perry's hands "wanted to choke him to death He tore loose and ran to get his gun. Came back pointing it at me. He said 'look at me, Perry. I'm the last thing living you're ever gonna see.' I just stood my ground. But then he realized the gun wasn't even loaded, and he started to cry" (Capote 132). This creates more than an image in the reader's mind, for it uses the sense of touch to put a sympathetic image in their mind. This example helps sustain the theme of Christian ethics because God commands that "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you should love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:4); this shows that Perry's father is not following a rule from God making him have a limited amount of Christian ethics. Not only does imagery help sustain the theme, but also symbols support and sustain the central theme by symbolizing salvation.
Symbols are effectively used to create and amplify the central theme of the book while also linking to the idea of organic unity. This is expressed before the murder when Dick and Perry are having a conversation in Las Vegas when Perry is talking about pirates when "the dream of drifting downward through strange waters, or plunging toward a green sea-dusk, sliding past the scaly, savage-eyed protectors of a ship's hulk that loomed ahead" (Capote 25). This quote amplifies how one can go through many different temptations that can lead to sin; however, if one keeps going forward, one will possibly reach salvation and redemption because one is succumbing sin instead of giving in to it. Another example of symbolism is in one of Perry's dreams, where he dreams "a tall yellow bird had hauled him to heaven" (Capote 117).
