    the wasp factory and american psycho protagonist comparison

    ‘American Psycho’ and ‘The Wasp Factory’ are two controversial dark novels in which the protagonist gets away with murder. They were published only seven years apart, ‘The Wasp Factory’ being the first. ‘The Wasp Factory’ was Iain Banks first published novel, and was released into the conservative United Kingdom in 1984, which would have coolly accepted it. This era of the United Kingdom did not approve of horror, especially when the protagonist remained uncaught. However, the book gained a great deal of attention and publicity via its controversy, and has maintained popularity throughout the years. ‘American Psycho’ by Bret Easton Ellis was originally published in 1991. At this time there was great controversy over its extent of gore and pornographic scenes, so much so that Ellis received numerous death threats and hate mail after its publication. Both protagonists narrate their author’s novel and each appears to mirror their author himself. However, the protagonists clash with each other when it comes to their settings, needs and reasons for behaviour. This demonstrates how the personalities of both Patrick Bateman and Frank Claudhame are presented differently by their authors. On the other hand, there are ways in which Bateman and Frank are presented to have similar personalities. For instance, they are both obsessive, misogynistic, have the desire to kill and have an abnormal mind set. These factors suggest a strong similarity between Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho' and Frank from 'The Wasp Factory', even though their upbringing and personal characteristics more than often differ. Due to this, the true extent of similarity between their personalities is hard to distinguish.…

    Dexter: Truly Guilty Of Murder

    It will never be acceptable to kill innocent people, yet it happens all too often. In the American television series Dexter, the main character of the same name lives to satisfy his father 's "code" by killing terrible criminals who deserve death for continuing to get away with murder. Dexter executes the guilty with precision and with assurance that they deserve it. Throughout the episodes, this piece of literature argues that only those truly guilty of malicious crimes towards society deserve a just death (Dexter). Our country claims that capital punishment is justifiable because they claim to only kill those truly guilty of crimes. Nothing is more extreme than taking a life, so it is important…

    Phillip Zimbardo's Analysis

    A war veteran speaks with his closest friend about their days in the military, reliving their long nights on the beach, shooting at the enemies, enjoying themselves while always facing victory, never touching upon the trauma that they endured. They never talk about the faces of young men that they were ordered to execute, nor do they talk about the image in their heads of a little girl, laying in the street dead, her mother next in line for a the similar fate. Both men ask themselves how they came to commit such horrible crimes, neither one grasping onto a logical reason, and their guilt following them to the grave. Ari Folman’s animated documentary Waltz with Bashir follows Folman himself, a memory-stricken war veteran who struggles to let…
