Two Significant Love Triangles In Relationships
It is common knowledge that in a relationship there could be hardships along the way, but when two people decide to come together they enter a commitment to each other. When one person in that relationship is unfaithful, all parties are affected, and suffer some sort of loss. For example one may lose their house, lose trust, but in some cases people have lost their lives. A crime of passion occurs when a person acts on impulse to commit a crime against someone. They are not always premeditated, and are certainly not justified. In this paper, we have studied two significant love triangles, in which infidelity became lethal. These criminals are Harmohinder “Mindy” Sanghera, and Amy Fisher.

(Lethal Lolita, The Amy Fisher story, Bio., ny daily news) On May 19th, 1992, Amy Fisher went to the Buttafuoco’s home to confront Mary Jo and confess to her that she was having an affair with her husband. Mary Jo was reluctant to believe that her husband would engage in such an act, so she dismissed the teenager’s words for senseless allegations. Amy became so infuriated with Mary Jo’s dismissive disposition, that she pulled out a gun from her jacket, and shot Mary Jo on the right side of her face. Amy then fled the scene of the crime with a friend in the driver seat. (Lethal Lolita, …show more content…

    He cleverly frames the situation as revenge for Quilty’s kidnapping and corrupting Lolita. Thus, the murder becomes understandable — it was an act of a father protecting and revenging his beloved stepdaughter. He confesses to his gross, pedophiliac relationship with Lolita for multiple reasons. It is wise for him to include his monstrous actions. If he claims otherwise — perhaps that his relationship with Lolita was blissful and completely consensual— Lolita would testify against him. But more important, Humbert and Lolita’s relationship serves to distract the reader and “jury” from the only true charge Humbert faces — murder. Despite Humbert’s claim that recounting his story is “to save not [his] head, of course, but [his] soul,” his ultimate goal is to avoid a death sentence (308). By spending a substantial part of the novel describing his relationship with Lolita, he hopes to convince the jury and reader that his most perverse crime was pedophilia rather than murder. Humbert even voices this opinion at the end of the novel: “Had I come before myself, I would have given Humbert at least thirty-five years for rape, and dismissed the rest of the charges” (308). Murder could mean a death sentence for Humbert, which is why he focuses on his relationship with Lolita - pedophilia entails a lesser…

    In the non-fiction novel In Cold Blood, Truman Capote (1965) gives his own narrative of the Holcomb tragedy in which a family of four living out on a secluded farm were slaughtered with a shotgun by the collaboration of two individuals for a seemingly few dollars. In this novel, Capote gives a thorough character description of the two murderers, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, as he recreates their experience (much as he sees it as it would be from their eyes). He gives accounts preceding the event, through it, and eventually into their trial and execution. From the descriptions Capote provides, a psychological analysis of the mental states of Hickock and Smith can be asserted. Richard Hickock can be seen as possessing significant traits of psychopathy, while his partner Perry Smith is seen with traits similar to that of a life-course persistent offender. Through the described personality characteristics and brief histories of Hickock and Smith, this essay will address this assertion with the two in question as individuals themselves, within their relationship to each other, and also as other characters see and analyze their psychological well being.…
