The first aspect of inspiration taken from Filth is the negativity and use of profanity throughout‚ however I found Filth to be so heavily laden with profanity and grotesque descriptions that I felt it became gratuitous. It served the purpose of drawing the reader’s disgust towards Bruce; the main character.

People can be very imaginative and picture the wildest scenes in their heads. A poem that supports this is "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud‚" by William Wordsworth. This poem is written from the first person view of the person lying on a couch in the house‚ using a pleasant and calming tone. The person pictures two main scenes: (1) nature with trees‚ daffodils‚ and hills‚ and (2) space with stars and the Milky Way.
