4. The New Norman Bates

Young, seemingly normal Norman Bates runs a hotel and is perfectly pleasant to speak to. That’s a pretty big departure from the book, in which Bates is more overtly crazy (as well as being paunchy and much older). The novel Bates is also a big drinker, which is the mechanism the writer uses to initiate Bates’ transition into “Mother”.
