Narcissus in our midst and the age of Narcissus
In a 1977 essay Melvin Maddocks links Farrah Fawcett Majors retirement from Charlie’s Angels and ex Marine Cory Moore’s hostage incident to Narcissus. he argues both form part of a broader Age of Narcissus where self image and media visibility drive modern life. He contrasts Fawcett Majors as a pervasive image identity and Moore’s desire for real recognition with the omnipresent urge to witness oneself on television. He notes public obsession with cameras, likening it to indigenous warnings about losing self to lenses, and cites Carl Bernstein’s photo outside Hanafi hostage protests as another Narcissus moment.
