The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis
The Rules of Attraction
The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis is a novel written in a manner that transcends from decade to decade. His descriptive writing allows for slight innovation and is the blue print for many situational series produced for television.
The characters within his novel suffer from emotional dysfunctions primarily because they are college aged adults; working toward self discovery. The most important rule of Attraction, is that there are no rules. Believing so, Ellis single handedly gives the reader insight to various emotions and sexual encounters during the course of the novel.
With several of the characters there are feelings of resentment towards their counterparts as well as oblivious dispositions towards the emotional feelings or balance of feelings throughout. Some of the behavior described could be considered animalistic; or even belligerent.
With all the chaotic charades of campus living, how could one be concerned with rules of attraction? The novel solidifies two phrases: one, "Survival of the fittest," and, two,"It's a dog eat dog world."
The characters are not necessarily looking to obey a set of rules more so than they are seeking exactly where they fit or belong in such a universe. The novel is a great read, if you have not done so, read The Rules of Attraction, Ellis will not disappoint your curiosity; the novel will definitely give you insight and a different opinion about dating.
