Walking across a dark alley in the dead center of East London, I frequently see prostitutes flaunting themselves towards simple-minded men. My urge for a vengeance massacre has never escalated to this peak, as I have killed four prostitutes in the past few days. These four killings are just the beginning of the finest murderer in East London. My identity remains unknown, but I call myself Jack the Ripper. This uttermost hatred for prostitutes evoked when I was a teenager. My selfish father tore my family apart for nothing more than a piece of dirt, by the name of Mary Jones. Mary Jones, found frequently on the corners of streets, the well-known tramp around the hood of London was found flaunting in my home. One night, my mom and I came home …show more content…
“Sure, but this will have to cost you,” she stated. “Okay, lets make this a night you will remember,” I say as I chuckle in my mind. As we walk though town we exchange small talk. “That bracelet is eye-catching!” I exclaimed acting as if it was pretty. I remember that bracelet, slung around her thin wrist, from that very night she decided to tear my family to shreds. “Thanks, it was my Grandma’s. She left it on her death bed,” she mumbled under her breath. I almost felt bad, then I realized she was the reason why I am the sick-minded person I am today. We pull along my countryside estate and walk along the rock path leading to my home. As she steps foot into my home, I lock the door behind her. She gazes in awe as she admires my belongings. “Lets go upstairs.” The impatience of the revenge consumes my words. As she walks into my bedroom, she makes herself comfortable on the edge of my bed. I grab her forcefully and tie her to the plastic chair that was placed strategically between the end of the bed and the wall. “What are you doing?” She screamed at the top of her lungs. Acknowledging her comment, I look her directly in the …show more content…
He also finds Mary’s trademark softly placed on the ashes, her gold bracelet. “You tore apart our family into pieces and never bothered to pick them up!” I screech through the bitterness in my voice. I reach for my knife. “Son, don’t!” Father cries. I quickly raise my knife above my head, thinking of all the things this man has put me through. I jab the knife into his heart and twist my wrist in every which way. His lifeless body droops to an irregular state. The feeling of accomplishment empowers me. My father’s dead body and Mary’s dead ashes lay before me making me realize my mission is complete. Not to brag or anything, but covering these murders up was simple. The cops had no evidence of the crime scene and no witnesses even dared to croak a word. I continue to stay in London to see all the action and hype from my great work. Till this day, the younger generation of murderers honor my best work of committing six murders in a few short days. Even after the murders I have committed, it will never fill the whole in my heart. The twisted, love struck couple molded the fire within me and consequently for the people of London, will never die. The mystery behind Jack the Ripper will never
The 1990 romantic comedy, Pretty Woman, is a popular film that represents several aspects of feminism through the character of Vivian Ward, a prostitute who experiences a change in social class when she meets corporate businessman, Edward Lewis. The film demonstrates society's placement of sex workers and the inequalities they face in everyday life due to the stigma and generalizations of the whole sex industry. I argue that the film Pretty Woman addresses the issues in society of the marginalization of sex workers and the high stigmatization that is associated with acts of sex work. In addition, through the character of Vivian, it is emphasized that sex workers have agency and empowerment of their own desires. I believe Vivian’s strong sense

Throughout this article the writers are often writing about the possibility that it could have just been luck the way things worked out for The Ripper or did he maneuvered his way through the media and play with the minds of the people and police.

The Whitechapel Murders and those of Jack the Ripper are not generally one and the same. Over a period of three years towards the end of the nineteenth century a number of prostitutes were murdered under different circumstances – the murder of prostitutes was not an especially unique occurrence during those times but several of the murders drew particular attention on account of the savagery with which the victim’s bodies were mutilated. Within the Whitechapel Murders was a cluster of murders that demonstrated sufficient similarities as to suggest that they were committed by the same person. One of the first instances of serial murder was thus identified and sensationalised in the media as the work of ‘Jack the Ripper’, nicknamed on the strength of a letter, probably a hoax, sent to the Central News Agency and claiming responsibility for the killings. Jack the Ripper was a man, and the killer surely was a man, who did not have the intention to merely kill his victims; he needed to mutilate them. Such was the savagery of his attacks and the enthusiasm of the press, that he successfully terrorised the environs of Whitechapel in East London for several years. In spite of an extensive investigation of the killings, Jack the Ripper was never apprehended nor convincingly identified.

“Jack the Ripper”, an alias given because someone sent and signed a letter in that name, is the infamous serial killer that harmed the streets of Whitechapel district in East End London during 1888.
