One of the three emotions that Patrick felt can be found on page 64, and the text reads, “Then Andy, too, made him mad. Why couldn’t he just leave him alone?” The given quote represents the third feeling – how he was unable to understand what people did what they did.

A quote that most describes Patrick is “After a while, his eyes lost the glazey numb look from the wine or the coffee or the fact that he had stayed up the night before. Then, he started crying. Then, he started talking about Brad."(Chbosky, May 11,1992). Patrick is a person who expresses his feeling by crying after something big and then wants to move on from it. Patrick made a big deal about this because he had been with Brad for a long time and then for Brad to ignore him made him angry and for Patrick the only way to express that is in the form of tears.

The movie Psycho (Shower scene) with and without the music is very suspenseful. It brings a mixture of feelings. I got a sense of repulsion and horrified, wondering what would happen next. Although it was short, it was graphic and the content being black and white, it was enough to get the viewers attention. Listening to clip with music made the scene more tensed because you can hear the sound effects.

There’s plenty of meat and stuff in the freezer, and you can have it right here and not even have to move out of the chair’’’ (2). Mary only ever want to please Patrick. She made sure everything was perfect for him and to never do anything wrong. She could not think of anything she had done to deserve such news. She immediately rejected the news and decided to pretend as if it never happened. Patrick was behaving so cruel to her while she was being nothing but nice to him. She even continued to make him dinner and he yelled at her saying not to because he is going out. This angered Mary resulting her to hit him with the leg of lamb and kill him. This shows that Mary is a sympathetic character because she was always compliant to Patrick. He had no right to disrespect her as he did.

Since this story is set in the 1950’s, it also shows how women were treated back in that era. Nobody would guess that she would be the one to kill Patrick, not just because she was her husband, but also because she is a women. In today's society, people now suspect all genders, but in that era men were deemed superior to women, so therefore would have only been suspected. This shows how stereotypes and personal beliefs have effect over us. Even though we nowadays have less use of stereotypes towards gender, they still are present in our society.

The writer creates an unbelievable ending by making the story, up to the murder, set in a very normal family house. It is not somewhere you would associate with a morbid killing. The writer builds up an impression that the marriage may not be as good as it could be, and both were under strain not to release the tension onto each other.

“I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip" (Harron) thought Patrick Bateman as he contemplated his growing feelings of emptiness and need for bloodlust. American psycho is the story of a greedy, materialistic, self obsessed businessman who transforms into an unstable and violent sociopath. Abnormal behavior can be defined by four patterns deviance, distress, dysfunction, and danger (Comer 2). Deviance is exhibited as unusual, or extreme behavior. Throughout the movie, Bateman was very blunt and would casually say violent, graphic comments. The only time Bateman experienced distress was towards the end of the movie when he couldn’t stop killing. He began to panic, called his lawyer to confess, and didn’t go into work. However, most of the time Bateman said he enjoyed the rush of a kill. Typically, abnormal behavior interferes with the person's ability to conduct daily activities (Comer 2). As a result of Bateman’s abnormalities he could not sustain a healthy relationship. The most extreme characteristic of Batemans abnormal behavior was that it caused him to put others in danger.

Alfred Hitchcock is widely considered one of the most essential directors of all time and has undeniably revolutionized the cinematic art form and horror genre movement. A key ingredient to his productions is the psychoanalysis of the movie’s villains and the deceivery at comes with deep psychosis.

This is exactly what he does in his 1960 film, Psycho. By layering Freudian psychoanalysis, creating a twist ending and suspense, and giving the villain of the story, Norman Bates, a deeply rich background story, Hitchcock creates phenomenon in the audience arguably scarier, then Norman’s murders. Through this use the psychoanalysis and backstory, the audience also feels sympathy for Norman. This duality is what makes Hitchcock a wonderful artist and Psycho, a piece of art.
