Monster
Monster
When a newborn baby enters this overwhelming world, they are immediately being prepared to live in society and take care of themselves. Starting with pregnancy, the incredible bond that a mother and child share, the emotional bond begins. The child is completely dependent on its mother for physical survival like oxygen and nutrients. During the critical years of age 0-3, nurturing is most important. If a child does not get the sufficient emotional support that he needs to develop his distinctive sense of self, then he will suffer emotional deprivation.
John Cooper describes emotion deprivation as a result of a number of things (or lack of) taking place in ones’ childhood. These things usually occur between the ages of 0-3 years and can not only shape one’s personality, but can determine the types of behaviors this individual may possess as an adult. During the course of such early years, the child has no sense of self, and relies on their caregiver for all basic needs. This person doesn’t necessarily have to be the biological mother. It can be a nanny, father, grandmother, and so forth. The child at this stage sees himself or herself in this person.
Monster was based on the true story of one of the country's first female serial killers; Aileen Wuornos. She suffered a harsh childhood full of neglect, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. After being raped as a young girl, nobody would believe what's happened to her. This led to the continuation of her sexual abuse and she eventually turned to prostitution to take care of herself. After being shunned by her family, she was left to drop out of school and turn to prostitution by the age of 13. That same year she became pregnant and decided to give the baby up for adoption. She was a highway prostitute for many years and attempted to kill herself one night before going into a gay bar and meeting a young woman but the name of Selby.
Selby was the first person who was nice to Aileen and
