The novel, American Psycho, was very controversial when it was published over thirty years ago. One of the criticism was the excessive violence towards women. L.A. president of National Organization of Women called the author, Bret Ellis, a misogynist (someone who hates women). Please write a 10-15 sentence reflection on the role of an artist (writer, painter, actor, or singer) and his or her social responsibility. That is, should an artist be held accountable for the art he or she produces or do you believe every artist should have total freedom to expression himself or herself regardless who may get hurt?
