- Capote was selfish and contributed to the deaths of Perry and Dick because he wanted a good ending for his book
- Ethics:

-by keeping perry and dick alive, Truman was able to manipulate and exploit them. While they were in prison they had very little outside information coming in, so Capote could tell them anything he wanted. It wasn't until he held a very public book reading that Perry had any idea what was going on. Once Perry heard the title of the book he become very upset with Capote and realized that he had been betrayed.
