Capote sees something in Smith that intrigues him, something that sets him apart from the other inmates. It is as if he recognizes a kindred spirit in Smith, someone who, like himself, is an outsider looking in.
As Capote delves deeper into Smith's past and psyche, he becomes more and more invested in him as a person. He begins to see Smith not just as a criminal, but as a complex individual with hopes, dreams, and fears. Capote's empathy for Smith grows as he learns more about his troubled childhood and the events that led him to commit such a heinous crime.
