Research and Planning: Stalker

I have decided to research stalkers by looking up the definition and also looking at stalkers that are shown in movies. 
A stalker is - 

stalk·er/ˈstôkər/

Noun:
  1. A person who stealthily hunts or pursues an animal or another person.
  2. A person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention. 

The types of stalkers are (copied from wikipedia)- 
  • Rejected stalkers pursue their victims in order to reverse, correct, or avenge a rejection (e.g. divorce, separation, termination).
  • Resentful stalkers pursue a vendetta because of a sense of grievance against the victims – motivated mainly by the desire to frighten and distress the victim.
  • Intimacy seekers seek to establish an intimate, loving relationship with their victim. To many of them the victim is a long-sought-after soul mate, and they were 'meant' to be together.
  • Incompetent suitors, despite poor social or courting skills, have a fixation, or in some cases, a sense of entitlement to an intimate relationship with those who have attracted their amorous interest. Their victims are most often already in a dating relationship with someone else.
  • Predatory stalkers spy on the victim in order to prepare and plan an attack – often sexual – on the victim.

This female stalker is from the film 'Fatal Attraction' she looks rejected and angry, after being brushed off by the man she had an affair with she decides to pursue him and his family.

This photo is from the film 'Prom Night' he seems to be very sinister character which shows him to be very sneaky and shady this portrays the stalker role well as stalkers usually act out alone and don't want anybody else to know about what they are doing. 


These two photos are from the film 'Fear' I think a big factor of the stalker in these films are that they are over emotional and this is shown through the characters, this character comes across as unstable, angry and possessive.
