If Norman could have just been his own person and not listened to his mother, the outcome of the story would have been very different. Throughout the story, the author uses Norma Bates as a symbol, with the meaning of the symbol being Norman’s inability to let go and be his own person and make his own decisions.
The theme of this book fits right in with the central conflict, with it being not everything is as it seems, and when you read the book, you realize that for yourself. On the other hand, Norman was trying to hide Mary’s body because something sinister happened at the motel when she came that fateful night. Sam, Lila, and Arbogast spent the whole book looking for information on her whereabouts. The central conflict of this book was very interesting, with it being the disappearance of Mary. This book takes place in Fairview and Norman’s and Norma’s motel, and it is the perfect setting for this book because if it was in a big city, the pace would be much faster and the authorities would be much more involved in the search for Mary, which would defeat the point of many of the characters in the book. Milton Arbogast is an investigator sent by Mary’s real estate company, and he helps Sam and Mary find out what happens to Mary.
Sam Loonis owns a shop in the small town where the motel is located, and helps Lila Crane, Mary’s sister, to help find Mary.
Mary Crane is the protagonist, and she takes money from her real estate company to help pay off her love interest, Sam Loomis, but she goes missing at Norman’s and Norma’s motel. Norman is a shy motel owner, while his mother Norma is very demanding and rude to Norman. Norman is the motel owner and is the antagonist in the story along with his mother Norma Bates. In this book, the main characters that we follow are Norman Bates, Mary Crane, Lila Crane, Milton Arbogast, Norma Bates, and Sam Loomis. The characters in this book made the reading very interesting. I found myself excited to read at the start of class, and even reading a bit on my own time.
I didn't believe him, but I kept an open mind about this book and I was pleasantly surprised. He told me that I would like the book and that I’d be happy that I read it. I went to my 9th-grade English teacher and asked if he could give me a book I wouldn't dread reading, and he gave me the book Psycho, by Robert Bloch. When I was told that I would have to read a book for my 10th-grade English class, I wasn’t shocked, but I definitely was not excited.
