I don't understand The Butcher's motivation

Very well put! It's like she's trying to be the mother to the whole colony, but they're misbehaving so she's punishing them for their own good. Just taken to an extreme!

Does she though? I don't think she wants to control people just to control them, I think she's committed to protecting the colony and exercises severe punishments to ensure its safety. I don't think she wants to have this control just to have it. It's a means to an end, but I feel there's something missing in her story about why she cares as much as she does about these people who reject her.

I'd be kind of mad too if I had to sell my soul to survive, after being sent out to die in the wilderness. Its like, "WTF do you ingrates think this is? There isn't a
refund
on souls. Shut up and eat your corn." -

She seemed a little "controlly" before she made the deal with Gaga, though. That's probably part of the reason Gaga saved her in the first place: she sensed a powerful control-freak of a woman, who she knew could use her power to keep people in line. Although Gaga was probably hoping Kathy would convert them all, not kill them

She and her colony are bound to the land.She did have control leadership issues.KIlling more people either gives her or gaga more power but it also gives them something to do.She is deluding herself into thinking she is protecting the land.
