When do we consider a person mad? Is it when a person varies from the norm that society has created – or is it when a person simply does not resemble us? The options are infinite, but “Killing Child at Zoo” has a very significant way of showing a mad person. The novel “Killing Child at Zoo” is written by Bret Easton Ellis in 1991. The story offers the reader insight into what is actually going on, inside the head of Patrick Bateman – a man who lives to kill.
Maybe our first thoughts were “hey, this man is going to the zoo, that’s a nice and quiet plot” – and all of a sudden, the protagonist, Patrick Bateman, kills an innocent child.
The information we receive about Bateman before the murder, leads us to think that he is not a down-to-earth common guy. His narrative technique is filled with such anger, that you cannot doubt his hatred to the society surrounding him: “Two drunks, faggots, console each other on a bench. Nearby a mother breast-feeds her baby, which awakens something awful in me.”
He seems like a mysterious guy, with a lot of secrets, that cannot be discovered. He lives in his own bobble, hating the society and everything that is not himself.
