John Druitt: Jack The Ripper

395 Words1 Page

Jack the Ripper had killed at least five female prostitutes around 1888 in London and was never identified. Although there are some suspects that might be the Ripper, like John Druitt, Prince Albert Victor, and other suspects. According to the evidence presented John Druitt is Jack the Ripper.
There are lots of evidence that proves John Druitt is Jack the Ripper. After the last victim Mary Kelly was killed John Druitt had vanished, “At the end of November 1888, for reasons that have never been satisfactorily established, Druitt was suddenly dismissed from school” (“Montague John Druitt” 3). About a month later his body was found floating in the Thames River, “on December 31st, 1888, his body was found floating in the …show more content…

People wanted to know who was jack the ripper but they couldn't get answers, “When Jack the Ripper’s murders suddenly stopped, in the fall of 1888, London citizens wanted answers that would not come, even more than a century later” (“Jack The Ripper Biography” 9). But some people have other theories on who Jack the Ripper's identity is.

Some people have theories that Prince Albert Victor the Duke of Clarence is Jack the Ripper. Prince Albert was indeed really suspicious, “The Duke of Clarence, the eldest son of Edward, Prince Wales, and Alexandra, was viewed with a certain amount of suspicion” (“Jack The Ripper” 18). But it can’t be Prince Albert Victor because he was working on his royal duties,” but it was cleared when it was that he had been on other engagements at the crucial times” (“Jack The Ripper” 18). But there are lots of theories on Jack the Ripper but only one could be correct.
In the final analysis, we may never learn the truth about Jack the Ripper. Though some people believe Ripper’s identity was Prince Albert Victor, it is clear, however, that it wasn’t him. The evidence seems to support that the Ripper was John Druitt as a strong

  • Dr. Strangelove, by Stanley Kubrick

    I think that it was not coincidental that Kubrick named this individual Jack Ripper, but purposely did so. The real Jack Ripper was a serial killer. Not only does the name fit with the character in Dr. Strangelove, but also the images and actions often associated with the serial killer. Silent and cruel attacks, nighttime, darkness and dense fog are a few images associated with the serial killer. In the movie General Ripper was in a dark office, he ordered Wing Attack Plan R to bombard the Soviet Union with a nuclear bomb before they could respond, and right before killing himself he was in a cloudy/smoky room. The Wing Attack Plan R is my analysis of the silent and cruel killings. The cloudy/smoky room is the dense fog. And finally the darkness of General Ripper’s office fits with the darkness image. What was the purpose of General Ripper when looking at the movie as a whole?
