The only difference between Bateman and anybody else is what is repulsive to Bateman and what is repulsive to the rest of the world. Bateman has great interest in the upper class life, fashions, and social existence, but at the same time he is, at times, sickened by the constant struggle to be one up on everybody else. On ... a personality, and pursuit of happiness all come to mind. It’s hard to tell what exactly would make a person with so much so unhappy. Boredom does play a role in Bateman’s demented world, and so does lack of personality. It can certainly be said that Bateman is simply looking for happiness. I think Bateman does somewhat satisfy his boredom, and does make himself feel happy at times, ...
