Essay: Atrocities Faced by Aileen in The Monster

Sample Essay

Looking at Aileen’s history she had enough horrifying accounts in her past, such violent sexual, objective and mental abuse all through her life. However, this was never outlined by the media and was hushed down to loud proclamation of being the first female serial killer in America (Reynolds, 78). Even though when on trial, she showed many signs of neurosis and madness, but was still made to face a trial which eventually declared her to be accountable for all her murders and lastly put to death in 2002.

Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron) is playing a role of who survives an abusive childhood in Michigan. She lives as a shattered homeless woman most of her life and survives working as a highway prostitute. She then comes to Florida where she discovers she has only five dollars and she goes into a bar for a beer. There, Aileen meets Selby Wall (Christina Ricci), a young girl in her early twenties who is a lesbian and her parents send her away to live with her relatives so she gets rid of her lesbianism. Selby falls for Aileen, even though being straight Aileen soon finds herself equally attracted to Selby. Selby decides to run away with Aileen and they both dwell in a cheap motel. Not very later, they find out they are short of money to pay their bills and buy food. Aileen wants to quit hooking but she cannot find a regular job and there is a certain level of drift between the two. Aileen had already murdered a man who tries to rape her. Though she does so in self defense, however what follows is a series of murders irrespective of the men’s behavior. However, finally Selby slowly finds out about her lover’s unsteadiness and the consequences she will have to face being with her, a prostitute turned serial killer.  [T1]
