Dear students in 1LLCE,

You'll find attached three scenes from films or series which all depict/feature/represent psychopaths.

Document A : scene from Dexter (Dexter’s NA confession, Season 2, Episode 3)

Document B : scene from The Shining de Stanley Kubrick (Here’s Johnny !)

Document C: scene from Psycho d’Alfred Hitchcock « Mother is revealed »

Watch the three scenes one after another and make sure you can answer the guiding questions to help you answer the following question for the synthesis (individual work):

Explain how the human being is depicted as a monster in each scene. What are the film techniques and strategies used to highlight the monstrous feature of the characters?

Make sure you introduce each document, briefly sum up each scene and compare & contrast how each psychopath is portrayed.
