This research paper explores American Psycho, a novel by Bret Easton Ellis, focusing on the psychological and social commentary it presents regarding identity and morality in modern capitalist society. The novel, centered on the life of Patrick Bateman, portrays the dehumanizing effects of consumerism, alienation, and obsession with social status. The study discusses how Bateman becomes a symbol of emotional numbness and moral decay in a world driven by wealth and appearances. Additionally, the paper connects these themes to contemporary society, including the impact of social media and image-based culture. The novel ultimately forces readers to question the cost of a world where surface matters more than substance.
