Patrick Bateman's Mental Illness

Decent Essays
One scene that stands out and really sets the tone for Patrick Bateman’s mental illness is when he is in his apartment and he’s going through his daily routine like he’s in a commercial. It really shows how he likes control. The scene also makes it seem like he has OCD because of how planned out he is. Another scene is when he has Jean, his secretary, over and he freaks out on her when she lays a dirty spoon on the table. Sure, that might tick some people off, but he explodes at her. Lastly, there are two scenes, near the beginning of the movie and near the end, that lay out how much apathy Patrick Bateman has. In the first scene, he is seen talking to a homeless guy. He acts like he is going to give the guy money or a job, but then he insults

    In the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, we follow a story told by Holden Caulfield and his journey of leaving Pencey Prep to his eventual return back home, and we learn what type of person Holden is. Throughout the novel there are different signs of why Holden may be in a mental facility. To show this we will observe the different signs from the novel such as how he is violent (thinking of horribly hurting people), how people have questioned his sanity and suggested he should be psychoanalyzed, and how he thinks of suicide (especially when he is depressed). One of the strongest signs is how violent Holden can get because that could be a sign of how he is potentially a danger to others.…

A dark thought enters his head, he descends into inner discord, and finally comes out of it able to think of cohesive actions to perform again, this all being the progression of an episode from fruition to…
