Psycho (1960): Explaining Norman's Behaviour Part 3

The clip explaining norman's behaviour Part 3 from Psycho (1960) with Simon Oakland, John Gavin

That set off the jealous "mother" and "Mother" killed the girl.
After the murder Norman returned as if from a deep sleep and, like a dutiful son, covered up all traces of the crime he was convinced his "mother" had committed!
Why was he... dressed like that?
He's a transvestite.
Uh, not exactly.
A man who dresses in women's clothing in order to achieve a sexual change, or satisfaction, is a transvestite.
But in Norman's case, he was simply doing everything possible to keep alive the illusion of his mother being alive.
And when reality came to close, when danger or desire threatened that illusion, he dressed up, even to a cheap wig he bought.
He'd walk about the house, sit in her chair, speak in her voice.
He tried to be his mother.
And, uh, now he is.
That's what I meant when I said I got the story from the "mother."
You see, when the mind houses two personalities there's always a conflict, a battle.
In Norman's case, the battle is over and the dominant personality has won.
And the $40,000? Who got that?
The swamp. These were crimes of passion, not profit.
He feels a little chill. Can I bring him this blanket?
