Freedom of speech is a cornerstone for American politics and the United states in general. However‚ people may want this freedom to be restricted due to the fact that this freedom also applies to people that want to spread hate or use their freedom just to make people feel unwelcome in their own community.

Although the actual motive for killing was different in each of the novels Perfume and Frankenstein‚ it seems there were a few underlying similarities in the events that led up to the each character becoming a serial killer.

In the novel Perfume‚ Grenouille is a young man who grows up never knowing a sense of belonging
