Who Is Hannibal Lecter

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer in the late 70’s throughout the early 90’s. What made him stand out from most serial killer’s was what he did to the bodies of his victims. During this research paper, I will cover his childhood life, what led to his lifestyle of killing and cannibalism and also the crimes that were committed during his murderous acts. I will also compare what theories relate to Jeffrey Dohmer and what could possibly be the reason why he did what he did.

In “Letter from Brimham Jail,” Dr. Martin Luther King uses logos to help his fellow Clergymen to understand and empathize with his actions to the Clergyman. Dr. King states “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” (paragraph 1 Pg. 219 Dr. Martin Luther King) This example of logos is where he tries to explain to the clergymen that when there is unfairness such as injustice a state away, that he feels it is his calling and too compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my home town to one they call first aid.

The silence of the lambs is based on a young F.B.I. student have to visit a prison and meet with a manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims. Biological Theory believes that some of us are born criminals and others are motivated by their environment. It indicates that born criminals can also be identified by their bodies. In this essay, I want to focus on the character Buffalo Bill and Dr. Hannibal and how he relates to the biological theory.

In an ironic twist of events, one of Chicago’s finest represented and stood beside one of America's most infamous serial killers and never knew. Larson includes this little fact to not only shock the audience but to further show Holmes’s charismatic persona. The irony is elucidated in the words “most surprising and perhaps dismaying” and is further played out before the eyes of the reader, invoking a feeling of astonishment and even admiration for the criminal whose charm can blind the eyes of even the chief of police.

H.H HOLMES, THE FIRST AMERICAN SERIAL KILLER, IN THE FOLLOW RESEARCH PAPER WE WILL BE LOOKING AT PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIS CRIMES TROUGH HIS EARLY CHILDHOOD TILL HIS EXECUTION IN THE LATE 1800’S

He was jailed in the maximum security La Palma (now Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 or 'Altiplano') prison. On November 22, 1995, he was transferred to the Puente Grande maximum security prison in Jalisco, after being convicted of three crimes: possession of firearms, drug trafficking and the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo (the charge would later be dismissed by another judge). He had been tried and sentenced inside the federal prison on the outskirts of Almoloya de Juárez, Mexico State.[4]

Author Joyce Meyer once said, “If you don’t learn to control your thoughts, you will never learn how to control your behavior.” Lack of control over one’s thought can lead to ruinous behavior. People have been exploring the human behavior for the past centuries due to the major effects behavior and life events have on an individual. In the 1800s, naturalism, a literary movement, explored “human instincts and behavior” (433) and “examined the society that conditioned people to turn out as they did” (443). Stephen Crane and Edwin Arlington Robinson both wrote influential pieces in the 1800s and were impacted by naturalism. Stephen Crane and Edwin Arlington Robinson both show the psychological impact on the human mind and behavior, but Crane emphasizes how psychology can motivate whereas Robinson shows how psychology can destroy. Both pieces, “A Mystery of Heroism” by Stephen Crane and “Miniver Cheevy” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, include forceful events that influence the main character to commit a dangerous task that either motivates or destroys them.

turned into a martyr for the safety of his students. It’s terribly unfortunate that he passed

Jeffrey Dahmer, also commonly known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, is one of America’s most notorious serial killers. In the span of nearly 15 years, between the years 1978 and 1991, it is estimated that Dahmer was responsible for the death of fifteen to seventeen young men (Radford University). As his nickname suggests Dahmer was known for drugging his victims, then raping them, then disembodying them, and if the mood fit him, cooking and eating his victims. Dahmer’s unique case resulted in him being psychologically analyzed and diagnosed by at least seven different psychologists during his trial (Palermo & Bogaerts, 2014). This paper seeks to explore the diagnostics given to Jeffery Dahmer and prove, through the use of available information, their accuracy.

Albert Fish, the iconic serial killer known as ‘The Boogeyman’, ‘Grey Man’, ‘The Werewolf of Wysteria’, ‘The Brooklyn Vampire’ and ‘The Moon Maniac’. He is considered to be the first Hannibal Lecter and was rumored to be the soul inspiration for the popular novel character. Fish’s original name was Hamilton, but after his brother's passing he adopted the name Albert. At a young age he was put in an orphanage, due to his parents lack of financials resources. While in the orphanage he witness the beating of other children and experience the beatings himself.

Carlos “Carlitos” Estrada died peacefully in his sleep on July 19’th 2123 in Venice Italy at the age of 120.

Considered America’s first serial killer, H.H. Holmes demised a plan like no other to torture and kill woman in the early 1890’s in Chicago, Illinois (H.H. Holmes, 2004). Masquerading as a charismatic prominent businessman, and caring doctor, H.H. Holmes was a true monster (H.H. Holmes, 2004). Known later as the “torture doctor” or the “monster of 63rd street”, he methodically planned, attacked, and controlled his victims till the very end (H.H. Holmes, 2004).

“I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing.” This quote was in the confession of Dr. H.H. Holmes when he was caught in 1896. These words are very chilling due to the fact that this man is believed to had killed up to 200 people and not only thinks that he couldn’t help himself but in some ways compares himself to an artist. Holmes’ gruesome murders still inspire ideas in modern day society, such as T.V. shows like American Horror Story. It could be argued that his influence on society would be same as if he were still alive for generations to come. A human monster is a person that is not congenial with the common populace and Holmes is one of the very first recorded in American History. Herman Webster Mudgett, later known as H.H. Holmes, is a human monster created of both nature and nurture, like the fictional character named James March, and all of Holmes’ victims were subjected to the fear of death as they were usually tortured before they were killed.

Gaze at the timeline of history and one will stumble across selfish acts that have dominated our era – acts that have defined people’s true character and make a firm line for where their morals stand. It is rare to find a person that will put their needs before any others in the moment simply due to it being their first instinct – people whose morals are designated to helping others at all cost before their own. Morality is not defined by skin color, race, or social class; it is defined by the good intentions people have for others solely for who they are, despite what race they may be. Within To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper lee, a plethora of characters such as Mr. Underwood, Calpurnia, and Link Deas radiate true morality with the actions they portray. Whether it be by giving the respect to someone they deserve despite what race they might be, or not sitting back and watching an innocent person suffer despite what troubles may lead down the road, these characters put aside the racial quota within Maycomb. They don’t let the label of “blacks” let them see who the person really is, they define the person by their character and who they are on the inside and not what’s seen on the out.

From time immemorial, man has been fascinated with behavioral deviations from the normative particularly in the context of crime, or more generally, morality. In fact, classical playwrights and novelists such as Shakespeare and Dostoevsky owe their literary success to their incredible ability to glare into socially and morally deviant minds and weave stories around them. We see a similar trend today. Much of primetime television is filled with shows that have experienced psychoanalysts chasing sophisticated and grossly deviant criminals or some variation of this general theme. The general public tends to relate to the job of a forensic psychologists to that of a cat chasing a mouse. Forensic psychology, however, is a far less
