Charles Starkweather (murder) Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate went on a murder spree, killing eleven people, over the course of less than two months. Charles was sentenced to death by the electric chair, and Fugate did 18 years in prison. I will focus on Charles’s story. Charles did not come from a rich family. He had 6 siblings, and his family barely had enough money to afford a house with them. They never went without clothes, had to skip a meal, or live on the streets, but they certainly didn’t have much. Even so, his family loved him, and wasn’t abusive. Charles was a good child. When Charles was only a small child he was thought to be stupid, but later in his life it would be discovered that he only had severe myopia. While he was in school, he was …show more content…
She had no idea what she was doing, and accidentally wrecked Charles’s car. The car was given to him by his father, even though his family had very little money. Charles’s father was infuriated by the fact that Charles had let the car get damaged. This led to a major argument, and even a short physical fight, and led to Charles being kicked out of the house. Charles would never be welcomed back. Charles got a job at the newspaper warehouse, but he wasn’t a good employee. His boss and co-workers believed he was stupid. He would fail to complete even the simplest of tasks. He made barely enough to pay rent, and sometimes it wasn’t even enough for that. When rent wasn’t in on time, his landlord would lock him out. The one reason he chose that job was because he worked right next to Caril’s school, and he could see her as soon as she got out every day. Charles went to the gas station one day to get Caril a plush bear. The only problem was he could not afford it. He wanted to buy it on credit, but the cashier would not let him, because his job prohibited using credit. Charles was infuriated by this, so he left the gas station, and planned how he’d get
In the text,”Charles” it states, “The teacher spanked a boy, though”. This is a important part of the story because it is the first time the Charles was brought up which starts the story.

Also in the story it states, “He kicked the teachers friend¨ This shows that Charles is not a good student and is alway acting up.

So again, some readers can say that punishment was after all not very serious or maybe not so rightful, but as the story goes, it is clear that Charles is punished by himself, because after this incident, he isolates himself even more, his father apparently loves him even less and Charles is haunted by this forever. David McCright claims that Charles does not have to stand before “God”, like Cain had to, but he has to “be called to account for his deeds, but it is the ‘God’ of memory or conscience” (McCright 13). The letters that Charles keeps writing to Adam are proof of this destructive guilt that he has. Although in those letters he keeps blaming Cyrus for rejecting his gift and he defends his behavior, he writes that he simply “had to take after” (East of Eden 48) Adam. Nevertheless he still feels guilt for what he did and wishes to trade places with Adam. He writes that

Charles was always lost in his iPad. One night I was so curious as to what he was doing on there that I crawled behind his booth to catch a glimpse. He was on the Fox News website. I didn’t know much about politics at the time, but I remember one of my classmates telling me that her father threatened to divorce his mother because she was caught watching MSNBC, which was apparently ran by a bunch of demons.
