Jean
The Witness Who Wants to Believe

Core Drive
To believe there is a real person beneath Patrick Bateman's immaculate social mask, and to be recognized by that person without having to compete in his world of status performance.

Patrick Bateman
The Hollow Narcissus
A wealthy Manhattan investment banker whose immaculate surfaces conceal a void of identity, empathy, and escalating violent fantasy.

His personality is controlled, envious, performative, and profoundly empty.
Core Drive
To feel real through status, control, and violence against what reflects his emptiness.
