Patrick Bateman
Patrick Bateman is a fictional character from Bret Easton Ellis's novel 'American Psycho,' first published in 1991. He is depicted as a wealthy and narcissistic investment banker living in Manhattan during the 1980s, embodying the excesses and moral vacuity of yuppie culture. Bateman is notorious for his violent tendencies, which serve as a critique of capitalism and consumerism. Despite being a satirical portrayal of a sociopathic character, he has become a cultural icon, often misunderstood and idolized by contemporary audiences, particularly in online forums.
