    INTERNATIONALInt.J.Eng.Lang.Lit&Trans.Studies JOURNAL OF ENGLISHVol.3.Issue. LANGUAGE, 2.2016 (Apr LITERATURE-Jun) AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR) A QUARTERLY, INDEXED, REFEREED AND PEER REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ijelr.in KY PUBLICATIONS RESEARCH ARTICLE ARTICLE Vol. 3. Issue.2.,2016 (April-June) TRUMAN CAPOTE’S REPRESENTATION OF ADOLESCENCE P. DINESH BABU Lecturer in English VRS & YRN College, Chirala. ABSTRACT Truman Capote embodies the writer of a new generation as far as American Literature is concerned. His was an insecure childhood and a series of uprooting. His childhood was rather very much disturbed by the fact that his parents were divorced. His constant series of disappointments as a child made him write and think about his painful lists. His treatment of adolescence was probably made out of his own life. His novels are considered as a reflection of human lives in modern times and its repercussions in the minds of adolescents. His writings are concerned with sexuality and home erotic. A critical assessment of capote’s novels will bring to light his meticulous genius and literary glamour. Key Words: American Literature, Adolescence. ©KY PUBLICATIONS Capote’s novels and stories are written not out of any formal knowledge of the psychology of the irrational but directly out of the irrational itself. They evoke with a shocking directness of the terrors of childhood and the vivid force and grip of dreams. His fictions are generally about lonely, loveless people – they seem too alone because they are loveless. His characters encounter strange, often offensive creatures with whom they are trapped and whom they cannot and usually do not wish to escape.

  • Sociological and Psychological Aspects of Crime in Truman Capote’S in Cold Blood
    Dr Joanna Stolarek The Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, Warsaw Sociological and psychological aspects of crime in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood The aim of this article is to examine sociological and psychological aspects of crime in Truman Capote’s most celebrated nonfiction novel In Cold Blood (1965). The author of the article is going to analyse the crucial themes running through the book, such as violence, murder, victimization, atonement and punishment as well as the writer’s narrative techniques, characterization, style and setting. The article is going to prove how and to what extent In Cold Blood constitutes an excellent mélange of literature, journalism and reportage as well as a thorough sociological, philosophical and psychological study of crime, the nature of the evil and a painstaking analysis of the human psyche, especially the criminal’s mentality which still remains enigmatic and inscrutable. Violence and terror are ubiquitous in almost every aspect of our life. Being regularly bombarded by shocking news and announcements of brutal killings, heinous acts of murder and hideous crimes we feel less and less self-confident and more anxious about our life security and the world’s future. In the 20th century, particularly in its second half, and in the threshold of the third millennium numerous writers, critics, philosophers and sociologists, while witnessing sundry acts of violence, pathology and moral debasement of hardened criminals as well as the degeneration of “ordinary” citizens, having examined minutely human corruption, endeavour to find the explanation to the criminals’ nature, their motives and the abnormal conduct of certain members of the society.
