What’s in a Monster?

by

Premises: According to Cohen, monsters can be read as signifiers for the “fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy” of the society that created it. You will choose a monster to investigate, and building on our conversations about social contracts, humanity, and empathy, you will undertake research into a specific depiction to uncover what its creation suggests about those who fear it. You can be as pragmatic or fantastical as you like; supernatural entities like vampires, zombies, orcs, werewolves, clones, aliens, and cultural monsters like “racists,” “illegals”, and “fascists” are all fair game.

Prompt: Answer this question in a 5-6 page question-driven essay: How do the “fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy” that appear upon close analysis of Patrick Bateman reflect the “time, feeling, or place” that gave rise to his creation in American Psycho (2000)?

Use Cohen’s “Monster Culture” to form the basis of your argument by choosing one of his theses about monsters. Incorporate 2 additional scholarly sources to aid your argument.
