American Psycho (the movie) and Jeremy Bentham's jail design

Well this was no Disney movie folks.

Patrick (aka Psycho) is human but does not act that way.  He admits it
himself.  He says, "There is no real me, only an entity." The only human
feelings he says he feels is disgust and greed.  He is obsessed with
perfection and wants everything or anyone to be the same way when they
are in his company.  Example: His secretary was not dressed to the T for
him and he told her to never wear that outfit again.  Patrick is
treating her as an object, or one that can be improved by a skirt and
heels that look like stilts.  He is extremely violent beyond reason.  He
kills anyone he feels like killing.  To Patrick nobody is worthy.  His
mind set is completely different and only thinks of violence and sex.
He is everything he needs to be, yet lacks everything and gets
gratification from killing or belittling.  He is a bi-product, a
signifier. 

On pg 287 of Chris Barker's book Cultural Studies 3rd edition he describes men as:

-Men are greater risk takers
-Men have a higher propensity to find multiple partners
-Men are more disposed to anger and less to empathy
-Men are less inclined to verbalize emotions

Now times that by 10 one million times and you get a personality like
Patrick's. He is an exaggerated version of a man. Only difference is he
has no feel good emotions.  If you see a hint of feel good emotions it
is from killing someone or maybe having sex with them. 

When it comes to women he is a complete womanizer.  Uses uses and
abuses.  This might sound strange... but he himself is his own woman.
He takes care of himself like he would a woman.  All of the pleasures
and passions he has he doesn't share with anyone, let alone any woman.
He is selfish.  And doesn't care for anyone's personal needs except for
his own.

Moving on...we also talked about Jeremy Bentham, a designer of a jail in
which each cell is visible through a guard tower (a panopticon).  He set it up this way
because he knows that people that are being observed are less likely to
do bad things. 

Michel Foucault uses Bentham's design in her studies.  Foucault says it
is what keeps us in order.  Example:  A parent spanks a child, an
observer sees it and says something.  Now the parent is more cautious of
his or her actions because they have realized someone has been observing
them.  They are less likely to do spank their child in public again
because of the fear of being caught again in the act.

Here is two examples of Bentham's panopticon:
