Character Analysis

There are a lot of characters in this text, no doubt a result of Capote’s robust research and interviews. Here, I have listed what I consider the major characters, as well as four main categories of minor characters. Obviously these major ones should be your primary concern, and this is where you should draw most of your evidence from, but the veritable array of side characters are also very important, so try to familiarise yourself with most of them to use as supplementary examples in your essays!
