Abstract

Jacques Lacan's description of the Other is that which gazes on you or exerts power on you, yet does not truly exist; the Other is an imagined gaze that is constantly looking over you (Willemen, 216). In the film american psycho (2000), screenwriter and director Mary Harron personifies the Lacanian Other with serial-killer Patrick Bateman. The Bateman character is an embodiment of the Other in that he is represented as a dead eye that continuously emits the intradiegetic Lacanian gaze (in various forms) on everyone around him.
