On November, 28, 1990, one of the forensic psychologists had an opportunity to interview Andrei Chikatilo. The psychologist reported that the communication was hard to build. He held himself stiffly. He usually was seating in a monotonous uncomfortable posture, hunched over, trying not to look around. He did not show any desire to talk, he was answering all the questions chilly. He tried to dodge, giving more details of the event rather than describing the reasons of the murders. Later he highlighted his vulnerability and defenselessness, wanted to speak with the medical personnel because, as he stated, it gives him relief. He also remembered the languor and warmth of those times spent with his family. Andrei Chikatilo was born on October, 16, 1936, in a village Yablochnoe, Kharkov oblast, Ukrainian SSR. He was …show more content…
By the time he was born, his parents were already older than 30 years. Chikatilo described his father as a militant person, because the war has left an indelible psychological wound on his personality. The father was announced a traitor of the motherland, often, sharing his memories about the war, hostilities, the concentration camp, cried. His mother was very religious, soft and timid. The family was living in the hard war conditions, rarely having an opportunity to eat. Andrei was growing up quiet, introverted, shy, did not have any close friends, and differed by dreaminess, impressionability, tendency to fantasize. From the childhood, he had the memories, which caused him to have panic attacks. Sometime his memories and imagination drew the picture of bleeding piles of bodies, pools of blood, body parts of corpses, which he saw during the war (Washington, A.F.) Once, he saw how his mother was helping his sister to put back her rectum, and at that moment he was extremely disgusted by it. For a long time, when thinking about this episode, he experienced fear.

When Raskolnikov was a student he enjoyed the debate and human contact, but also strived for acceptance. He had a dual nature to himself, which could be characterized by his cold intelligence, which separated him from society, and his compassionate side. After Raskolnikov murdered Alyona and Lizaveta Ivanovna
Shukhov could not dwell on his past even if he wanted to due his situation in the camps. Little by little he forgot what life was outside of it. With spending 8 years in the labor camps, Shukhov had little to remind him what home looked like. “As time went by, he had less and less to remind him of the village of Temgenyovo and his cottage home. Life in the camp kept him on the go from getting-up time to lights-out. No time for brooding on the past” and “Since he’d been in the camps Shukhov had thought many a time of the food
Imagery: The author uses imagery to describe the Russian prisoners’ lives in the camps. This imagery makes them look pathetic and frail, causing the reader to feel empathetic and sorry for them. Also we see the same idea of imagery within the hospitals and what happens in them. The description of gore and fear emphasizes the theme of death
The main character Lev is illustrated as a character that conforms to the traditional gender roles and subverts against them as well in that time period. Lev is 17 years old with little to no experience with life and all it has to offer. Further, Lev has never experienced the devastation and tragedy of war. Consequently, Lev is very afraid but he is also brave. In this book, Lev is portrayed as a young boy withholding “male socialization” and the development of boy to man. In the beginning of the book, Lev frequently expresses his desire to stick to the traditional male social norms. Lev says, “I was seventeen, flooded with a belief in my own heroic destiny… I would not flee the enemy; I would not miss out on the triumph” (Benioff 9). This quote displays Lev’s interest and bravery in wanting to fend for his home, Leningrad. Furthermore, Lev portrays his masculinity due to his fearlessness in staying home without his family and no experience with the war. It also displays how society told the people of Leningrad that being a man and gaining respect comes with staying back and fighting against the Germans. In reality, there was little to no chance of surviving what the Germans had in store for Leningrad. Hence, Lev’s reason in staying home to gain respect and conquer his masculinity. In contrast, Lev’s actions and feelings tell the readers otherwise. In chapter six Lev says, “I was betraying Kolya,
Andrei Chikatilo was a very bad person. He would kidnap, attack, castrated (boys/men) and bite/slice off sexual organs (women/girls). September 3, 1981, he started a pattern which cause police to move. To get to the children/adults he would trick them at bus stops and train stations then persuade them into the nearest forest or woods. Shortly after persuading them Andrei Chikatilo would kill, rape, and make an imprint on their faces or incapacitate them. Police can only find 53/56 killings. There was a rumor saying there were werewolves attacking people until he Andrei started telling everyone about his killings and the damage he had done. Beginning of 1988 Andrei continues to kill people in a different location called "Rostov". Chikatilo started
Andrei Chikatilo, born on October 16, 1936, in the Yabluchne, Ukraine in the former Soviet Union. Convicted in 1992 of 52 murders, Chikalto had confessed to 56. Andrei Chikalto’s childhood was marked by mass famine. According to Chikatilo, his brother had been kidnapped and cannibalized by starving neighbors. During World War II, Chikatilo’s father was drafted and would later become a prisoner of war. Chikatilo would witness Nazi-occupied Ukraine and the ravages of war. Andrei Chikatilo’s home was destroyed during this occupation leaving Andrei and his mother living in a single room shack. Chikalto’s mother was likely raped by German soldiers which resulted in the pregnancy of Andrei’s little sister. Famine continued to plague Ukraine after World War II had ended. Due to malnutrition, Andrei was physically weak and often the target of ridicule at school.
She begins to lose her innocence when her parents and she arrive at the Četnik checkpoint (84-85) and sees her parents’ vulnerabilities for the first time. Ana states,“the realization that my parents, too, felt pain and fear frightened me more than any strangers could” (85). This quote serves as a distinct contrast to the archetype of a child who innocently view their parents as immortal. In this moment, Ana drifts from her previous point of view where she saw war as a fun game where kids pretend to kill others. She shifts to a new perspective relating war to the memory of the massacre she witnesses that include her parents. This unforeseen shift from a boring drive back to Zagreb to a violent massacre correlates with Ana’s rapid perspective change. This darker perspective on war accentuates her loss of innocence. Ana’s loss of innocence is sudden, unlike the gradual loss of innocence Rahela, an example of a typical child archetype, experiences when learning pieces of her past such as her birth (145-148) by Ana rather than the “whole story” (301) of her parents’ deaths. Perhaps Rahela’s steady innocence serves as comparison to Ana’s swift loss of innocence that could symbolize American children compared to war children in terms of

From the research we conducted and our case study, we concluded that there were multiple factors that led to Andrei becoming one of the most disturbed killers ever. First, his shyness, small physical stature and sexual issues resulted in his low self-esteem and self-loathing. Additionally, his mother’s brutal parenting style and his father’s absence made his life at home lonely and isolated. As he aged, he did not develop his identity or sustain many emotional connections with others and as a result, had an arranged marriage set up by his sister. By the time he hit his 40s, all of the pain, loneliness, and anger from his childhood came out during Andrei’s “mid-life crisis” stage. These emotions and his lack of morality developed earlier in
Even when Raskolnikov was asleep he received painful messages of others who were suffering, just as he was. In one particular instance, before the double-murder, Raskolnikov is brought back to the poverty he suffered throughout his childhood. He once again feels a great empathy toward the suffered, but this time
