There are two sections of Lecter’s MBTI […]
Why do people repeat what hurts them, even when they know better? Why does love feel both deeply life-giving and strangely destabilizing? And why do creativity, passion, and self-destruction so often appear side by side in the same person? Sigmund Freud tried to answer these questions through one of his most powerful and controversial ideas: […]
Patrick Bateman is a complicated character. On surface, he is an accomplished 27-year-old man working on Wallstreet. He is engaged and has friends at work. But he also kills people.
