Ok let's get deep here for a minute. I wish to consume the character of Patrick Bateman both on a visceral literal level by which I mean cannibalistically, for he is a detestable human being and I have come to wish to consume detestable human beings as a form of great insult to them, and on a metaphysical level, by which I mean to say I wish to consume his power and internalize it, making it my own, and reigning it in under my superior control. You may say it is impossible to do this because his power is not power at all, it is detached desperate explosive violence that comes from a place of deep insecurity, but what if that ultimate power of psychotic will could be applied in a just and level manner without the insecurities and petty ethic/moral violations? Well then you might have a superman, an ubermensch.
