Why is Jack the Ripper So Famous?
Jack the Ripper is the name given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originates from a letter written by someone claiming to be the murdered, published at the time of the murders. Jack the Ripper also known as The Whitechapel Murderer and Leather Apron.
Jack the Ripper has remained popular for a lot of reason. He was the first to appear at a time when the general populace had become literate and the press was a force for social change. Everyday the activities of the Ripper were published in the newspapers and the people living in the East End were unsettled. The press coverage made the murders a new thing, which the world had never known before. Also, the ways of killing used by Jack the Ripper were detailed and he has a good experience in using knife.
Generally, there were five victims of Jack the Ripper:
- Mary Ann Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888
- Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888
- Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888
- Catherine Eddowes, murdered at the same date.

Unfortunately, the Ripper was never caught and it creates a mystery that people want to know and unsolved until now.
