Description: New version here: youtube.com/watch?v=MianLT3cz5A Adding the script for being unclear. I'm working to fix this in the future, thanks for being patient: 1 There are people in this world who can’t exist without others. Not because they care about people, or need interaction in the nurturing sense, but because without other’s they can’t take from them. Some people are so narcissistic, they can’t develop anything resembling a personality unless they have a mirror image to try and best. When this leeched group is comprised of people with nothing but time and infinite resources, how does one top it? 2 By having more. By flaunting what they have, or what they are. By being better, for appearance sake, or not. By having more clout, in simplistic terms, gloating terms or superiority terms. By riding of positive emotions or understanding of inherently good things, by latching them to something that can be distanced. By killing those above them, eliminating the competition when it gets too far ahead. By preying on the weak, because they’re easy, and a cheap high. By looking out for #1 and #1 only. 3 All these things paint the picture of someone so naracissistic, unempathetic and unfeeling. Someone you would never want or have the desire to be, even with the positives… Having no point to life after achieving what many would claim to be their endgame, especially without having actually earned or worked for it, must be painful. This person would cake on more and more layers of something they originally weren’t(decency), weather the things they do to make this happen are real or ultimately fake. These things are just built up around a form the person wouldn’t be able to handle. So trying to push past it, to some new plateau of human desire is probably the only thing one can do. How do you make a mountain bigger? By pushing everything else to the earth. 4 And in the end? Well, there is no end, it will go on and on. Racing to a point that is forever in the distance. Unceasing cruelty, greed, spitefulness, and pointlessness. What would be the final point of excess. Thank you. A thematic analysis of American Psycho. If you have a question please ask below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you disagree with my interpretation please be polite and state your case with examples. This is a learning experience for everyone and I am happy to be proven incorrect if that be the case. Thank you!
