60. Fatal Obsession
1 year ago
The knave said he knew who the Jack the Ripper was as his forebears came from that down-river down-wind location of our nation's capital. When I queried this statement, made while we watched the third edit, he was reluctrant to give up this jewel of information without some liquid encouragement. An hour passed and seething with impatience for this inside knowledge of a mystery that has perplexed millions, I demanded that he tell me the true identity of Jack the Ripper!
His hands, heavily stained with the mulberry preserve, shook as he lifted the goblet of wine to his lips and then announced in a slurred whisper that prompted a ruby dribble from the corner of his mouth, that it was 'Ol' Nick himself'.
I was speechless at this disclosure as he had drunk three bottles of the best claret to bring himself to tell me this patent rubbish! Before I could start shouting he slumped to the floor and started to snore.
As the Knave would say - result!
Damn! He will suffer for this!

However as for the content I'm afraid that escapes me.
So all these words culminate into a single character. In other words I agree with Gerald's comment in its entirety.
As for fatal obsession, this is born of a natural reaction to anything that is potentially harmful to our own existence. We need to know the whys and wherefores in order to allow us to build a defence.
If we only know the grim facts as in this unsolved case we are unarmed, unable to prepare our defences, therefore we remain vulnerable and that makes us fearful. Often this condition can lead to the point of obsession (even though this evil perpetrator must have long departed this mortal coil).
The good points: These events have been a substantial earner for the likes of Hammer and Hollywood by expoiting and amplifying our fears, and honing our senses. (Arthur Conan Doyle was also in that milking parlour.)
Although it borrows from the presentation style of programs on the History Channel this is aimed at folk who wish to resolve their fear who have already watched all the mostly facile programs about the Ripper.
It is primarily a promotion for the Whitechapel Society and although I have no connection with them I had to do some research to get myself into the role. The title refers to the murderer's deviant obsessional behaviour that was fatal to other persons.
And thanks for the explanation.
The presentation proclaims to me that there was extensive thought behind this production. A lot of time, thought and effort that was well worth-while in my opinion.
Thanks for the share.
I suspect those facinated/obsessed by the subject have other more darker motives for immersing themselves in such a crime as this gruesome mutilations of women.
Did you know that 'drowsy' Night Nurse is no longer available?......
