Jeffrey Dahmer was an innocent abyss. That's my idea of him.
He had schizotypal personality disorder, extreme paraphilias (esplancnofilia). He wasn't a psychopath, he didn't have antisocial personality disorder or narcissism (like Bundy, for example).
His mind was a torment; he couldn't relate to others as we can, because the only way he knew how to love was to annihilate. He only could desire to annihilate the other's will.
And he knew it. He knew it and felt genuine revulsion, fear, pain, suffering, and remorse. He needed to drink to commit cannibalism because he hated it and it disgusted him. He didn't feel a real hunger for human flesh, But it was the only way his mind could manage to keep the person with him the way he wanted.
When we think about him, we realize that no matter how much we tried, how much we treated him, how much we cared for him, he would never get better, and it wasn't his fault.
He couldn't accept or tolerate a partner acting like a human. Voices, thoughts, micro-expressions, attitudes, movements, Any manifestation of freedom and the will of others simply filled him with panic and mental anguish.
Death was a relief for him, that's why he didn't fight.
