Questions (Natural Born Celebrities)
Choose one questions:
On p. 209, Schmid argues that one of the ways we can stop audiences from identifying with serial killers is to use their abused or abnormal childhood to separate them from our own experiences. How does this work in Perfume? Relate the material in Schmid's chapter to the film/novel we viewed in this unit?
On p. 221, Schmid suggests that most novels/films portray the killers as sexual deviants, but they do so in a way that implies that serial killers are somehow "not normal" in their appetites. This quickly leads to questions of homosexuality or bisexuality as easy targets. If the killers are heterosexual, their sexuality is never mentioned. How does this argument play out in Perfume?
Throughout this complex chapter, Schmid argues that often the murderers portray a fear or hatred of women as motive for their killing. How does Perfume alter or complicate Schmid's argument?
