American Psycho
Mentioned, Pat, by everyone only at his last name Bateman or at the abbreviated version of its first name a normal top layer snob seems to the embankment Street yuppie Patrick Bateman to be middle of 80s: He wears expensive suits, has an overexpensive apartment and bores himself with his superficial acquaintances into luxury clubs. But under the surface is be able to he foresee more than his acquaintances because he tries to compensate for the emptiness in his life in the most brutal conceivable way: He maltreats and kills people.
In the course of the action Bateman loses himself visibly in his blood high and only knows reality and imagination to distinguish soon with difficulty. Toward the end of the novel Bateman causes a bloodbath, this can't be seen clearly and confesses all his atrocities to an advocate. But he must recognize that his advocate ignores him, which apparently regards wholes as a joke and his deeds remain unexpiated. When Bateman wants to see after his victims, all these already have disappeared and the apartment in which he stored the corpses is painted and offered for the sale. Nobody wants the truth behind his mask of the soundness of mind.
Bret Easton Ellis designs a kind of American nightmare in American Psycho. Bateman has made what everyone dreams of: Becoming empire and leading a carefree life. This life seems bored and empty to the reader, however, as nightmare wonderful. Bateman's sex and force excesses are the only contents. In reality his affiliation to the society of the rich men doesn't have their wealth advanced them. The bad face of a materialism shows American Psycho there is no more solution for Bateman which.
