Jeffrey Dahmer Reaction Paper

“Can't go around making excuses, blaming other people or other things. So I alone am the one who is responsible for what's happened. The only motive that there ever was, was to completely control a person--a person I found physically attractive. And keep them with me as long as possible, even if it meant just keeping a part of them.” – Jeffrey Dahmer Above was one of Dahmer’s statements in his last television interview before his death in November 1994. The man was a murderer, someone who made painted his name in the collection of world’s finest serial killers. What is interesting is that he was doing this out of his compulsion and sexual needs but what is scary is that he was a man who acts completely “normal.” Dahmer’s case was indeed interesting that I had personally chosen to make a reaction paper out of it. As I have not been contented of the case study in Robert Meyer’s book, this case made me search supplements such as documentaries, interview recordings and photographs over the internet. This was perhaps because I wanted to know Dahmer, his life, how he looks like, his behavior, how he felt during and after the crime, what brought him to engage in such actions and how his parents responded to all these events as it was fairly obvious how the world condemned him. Let me tell you how Dahmer looked like. He looked unfortunately good looking and too much normal. He wore glasses, had this fine nose, fair eyes, thick lips and had this growing beard making him look very manly in his trial days. During his last interview, he had this big, protruding belly, perhaps the result of his long term alcoholic consumption. I say he was too normal to be a killer. He did not have the fiery eyes, the sadistic smile, the unkempt hair; he did not talk angrily, was not stammering or even nervous. He was intelligent, was good at speaker and maybe good at manipulating people. All these qualities became one of his tools to have kept his killing spree on fire for 13 years. It
