It seems that the favorite topic of discussion in the Ripper world is "who done it"? While that would be very interesting (though near impossible) to discover, I think the most fascinating aspect of the case is just what could make someone do these things. So, on to the million dollar question... what was Jack's motive? Do you believe the victims were chosen specifically or at random? Was the arrangement of organs planned out or an (extreme) coincidence? There has to be some form of method to the madness... or does there?

I think that we often like to use profiling, to say what a certain kind of person would do in a certain situation. Thats a great route to take and it may give some insight into just what kind of person it takes to create a specific kind of crime. Let's, however, look at the crimes and ask ourselves what a person would feel he/she is proving to society or achieving overall from these murders? Or perhaps Jack murdered just for the sake of murdering. What do you think?
