    He loved his ma too much, and was manipulated by her to ensure that she was the continuing centre of his life. Gladys was as dangerous as Colonel Parker to Elvis’s welfare. When she died, he was left bereft, because ehe had compelled him to make her the centre of his universe and he was too soft-hearted to resist. A warning to all sons!

      I think you might be over-analysing. It wasn’t an oedipus complex or manipulation – he was an only kid and she was a strong character.

        If you believe his step-mother (you probably shouldn’t), there was a touch of Oedipus going around.
