It will be a little difficult to believe this! | Strange But True Incident. Content Warning.
American Psycho is one of the greatest novels of our time. Since its release, the majority of serious literary works have appeared to be hidden behind an unflattering layer of sophistry due to its obstinate, unwavering, and unyielding confrontation with this age. It is one of the two zeitgeist pieces of fiction that defined America at the end of the last century and the start of this one, the other being Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club. The latter book examines disillusionment from the viewpoint of a newly marginalized youth class that is impoverished and without opportunities. Both books had a genuine seismic impact, but in the case of American Psycho, there was also a very false outcry. The book's extreme violent passages, the objectification of women, the use of pornography, and the purported "manipulation" of the reader were the main targets of those reactions. However, they were frequently motivated by false beliefs and acts of bad faith American Psycho holds a hyper-real, satirical mirror up to our faces, and the uncomfortable shock of recognition it produces is that twisted reflection of ourselves, and the world we live in. It is not the novel that bourgeois critics adore, calling it "life-affirming" (which is frequently code for "deeply conservative"). Suburbanites are not provided with simple answers or the reassurance that a flawed but essentially good superhero is there to save them from evil people. It is not implied that faith or love can turn the tide. The only feeling that lingers is that we have left behind a world devoid of empathy and compassion, where monsters can flourish and go undetected. However, even though the It's nearly hard to separate American Psycho from the criticism it received, and analyzing those criticisms aids in identifying the subversive elements of the book. One of the most striking aspects of the book is how the reader is manipulated. Bret Easton Ellis defies convention by giving us a glamorous, murderous protagonist with inherited wealth, elite education, a toned physique, pricey clothing, and financial acumen. Its profile is a far cry from the stereotype of the serial killer as a depressed misfit. If Bateman hadn't been a murderous psychopath, he would most likely be hailed as the quintessential example of American success. The American WASPish elite's avaricious and power-hungry tendencies are directly compared in the book to mental illness. American Psycho uncomfortably closes the gap between the morbid, depressive preoccupations of the serial killer and the psychotic cultural aspects of the US, such as wealth fixation, gun obsession, overseas militarism, and growing military fetishism at home, by fusing Bateman's routine daily activities with his brutal homicides. The recurring metaphor describes how a society gives in to materialist consumerism and loses its human values in favor of an obsession with appearance, ultimately destroying society.
