"The [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dichotomy dichotomy] of good and evil exists in each Capote character just as the dichotomy of daylight and nighttime exists in the [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=aggregate aggregate] of his stories" (Hassan). Everyone of Capote's characters either represents a good presence or a bad presence. Toward the end of the novella, the narrator's love for Holly shows when he spends weeks trying to find her cat. Not too many people would do something for someone else that required so much time and effort. | "The [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dichotomy dichotomy] of good and evil exists in each Capote character just as the dichotomy of daylight and nighttime exists in the [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=aggregate aggregate] of his stories" (Hassan).

Even though the narrator has all these regrets, he never expresses any remorse about never telling Holly how he really feels about her. He is so excited to hear from her, and has all these things he wants to tell her.
