"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, Chapter 8

Chapter 8 focuses on George Harvey. It opens with his dreams of buildings, the locations and details precious to him, particularly the Church of the Transfiguration. This is his favorite dream, the one he is able to have after killing Susie. (page 96)

What does this say about George Harvey's character?

We discover that Harvey's father forces Harvey's mother out of the family car when Harvey is young. As Harvey watches his mother run away, his father says, "'She's gone now, son...She won't be coming back.'" (page 97)

How might this event have helped shape Harvey into the killer he becomes?
