Charlize Theron plays Aileen Wuornos in the film Monster (2003). The film is based on the real-life story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos who was executed in 2002. Director Patty Jenkins and Charlize Theron discover the aspect of aggression and anger in the prostitute serial killer and the people in general. Aileen kills her first victim out of self defense after the man violently rapes and tortures her. When she decides to quit prostitution, she is met with aggression as none of the potential employers wants to hire her. Unwanted by the public, Aileen went back to prostitution, but with the intention of killing her male clients (Monster, 2003). Aileen is angry at the men of desiring to take advantage of her. Jenkins and Theron bring out the fact that Aileen turned out to be a serial killer out of circumstance and not by choice.
