    to us, although sometimes only hinted at. This second face is our “true” face, and is our active persona when alone. Much like Jekyll and Hyde, these faces can differentiate greatly. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the concept of dualities is seen in Lady Macbeth’s actions. Dualities themselves are complicated things; it can be extremely difficult to tell when a person is hinting at or revealing theirs. In the somewhat enigmatic lines, “My hands are of your color, but I shame / To wear a heart so white”

Capote uses transition sentences and structure sets Mr. Clutter, the epitome of goodness and the people of Holcomb side by side with Perry to push aside his monstrous ways and portray him as just a person. While introducing the murderers, Dick and
