The Impact of Augusta's Death
Due to the fact that Gein and his mother spent a majority of their lives alone together, Gein grew a deep attachment to his mother. Throughout his whole childhood, he was exiled by his classmates since they all tended to push him away due to his strange demeanor. This forced Gein to really rely on his mother's relationship, morphing it into his only true friendship. When Augusta had died, it had completely shocked Gein to his utter core. He had been an absolute mess during the funeral, he had been embarrassed to be showing such a drastic amount of emotion in front of his community members but he was mourning the loss of not only his mother but his only friend. When Gein began his killing spree, his victims had some odd similarities to his mother. Augusta was quite a curvy, large woman, which was the type of woman that Gein traditionally picked. However, the only difference is that while these woman were similar to his mother physically, the way that they presented themselves went completely against Augusta's views. For example, Mary Hogan was a tavern owner with a nasty mouth, Gein took note of this as well as the amount of disapproval that his mother would have to such rash behavior. One of the most well-known motives of Gein is that the woman he chose to murder were woman who openly went against Augusta's view as to how proper woman should act, which is why Gein killed them, in order to satisfy his mother in some delusional way.
