Capote uses the strategy of double vision when writing, This meaning, at first he will take a general look at things. Like a first glance, he merely describes what the public sees. No imperfections, just a simple, widely believed, description of a place. In the exposition, he describes the village of Holcomb, saying, “The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them” (3). The serene tone he uses makes Holcomb seem tranquil, and a very easy going town. Then, his view focuses in on the smaller details. Descriptions of abandoned, old, and dull houses are written about. The earlier description before was somewhat like a camouflage to what actually exists in Holcomb. It might not be the greatest place after all. A second time this occurs is when describing the family members of the Clutter family; in particular, Bonnie. She, at first, seems like the perfect housewife and mother. Always polite and put together, she reinforces the respectful regard of the clutter family. But the reader soon finds out she suffers from a terrible illness, causing her to act irrational and depressed. Everyone knows of this, and it saddens them to know she must go through the changes from her “old self”, to the one tampered with by her illness. They do not view her as flawless, but as an individual for whom they feel sorry. Double vision works effectively mainly it is how human beings think. First, we see the general and overall picture, before we begin analyzing the smaller details.
