he himself doesn't have a face. one of the most famous passages - and best bits in the film - literally peeling off the face mask in front of the mirror.You ever notice the only time someone really has a face in AP is when he's destroying it?
This is a good point I think... and I think that the answer is yes. Isn't there a bit where he kills someone and he's worried it might come back on him but then some people say that they had dinner with the dead guy last night.... put that together with the bit about how no-one would miss him (PB) and yeah they are interchangeable. They could well be having the same fantasies I guess.I've found myself wondering whether any of the other guys in AP are getting up to or fantasising the same stuff as Bateman. He often seems to be considered an outlier because of the reader's knowledge of what's going on inside, but he's also seen as interchangeable with all the other Wall St. guys so it follows that the book could center on any one of them and remain the same.
literally the first thing that comes up when Googling "psychopath vs sociopath"whether he is in fact a psychopath, or whether he's a sociopath
I don't think this is about remorse at all though - rather a compulsive need to be noticed, to matter somehowAlso he feels compelled to confess his crimes and wants to be punished for them
