Zusammenfassung

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn has become one of the most successful and well� known crime fiction books in recent years. But why? This article explores the character of Amy Elliott Dunne as a female psychopath who has managed to subvert and question gender, psychiatry and agency expectations for women. Amy will be analysed using canonical psychiatric texts, a biographical account and the most innovative approaches to psychopathy to prove that by the end of the novel she emerges as the only dominant force in her life, her body and her identity.
