Synopsis
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Bielefeld University (Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: Why was there such a public outcry about American Psycho?

The overarching question of this segment will be: What did Bret Easton Ellis do differently which would explain the audience's intensive feeling of horror?

This creates a feeling of realism which, together with the absences of ethics, moral judgment and rationality, leaves the reader behind in a more vulnerable state than solely explicit violence in a surreal setting. This hypothesis will be taken up by the end of the paper and will then be verified, falsified or further modified. 28 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783346212511
