What exactly is it that drives Jason on? Does Jason think, or derived satisfaction from killing? What is your theory.
As for me I think the thing that gives Jason his ability to continue with killing, not counting the convoluted concepts found in JGTH, is something which has yet to be explored, it is a definite and tangible dark force.

It all depends on where in the series you look at him. In the early movies I always felt he killed for vengence/revenge for his mother, and as such got some satisfaction that he was avenging her. But later on I think that faded and killing became all he knew. He didn't remember why he was killing just that he needed to kill, almost like it had become second nature to him and he no longer thought about the reasons but just acted on his impulses.

Good point, it really should be looked at from each film, I'm personally of the view that there was a definite supernatural influence on Jason, which is really the only way to justify the later installments, and so as a whole I think that there is definite something behind it, which took over at some point, obviously since he came back to life several times. Maybe its not an overtly satanic power which animates him, but maybe something in between, some force which resurrects a person that has had some wrong done to them, in order that they might set things straight. Perhaps whatever this sort of thing might be, at some point lost control of him and he began to kill people who might not have deserved it. There is definitely something wrong with his actions as they continued on, I mean after the first 20 victims the dept owed him must have been paid off in blood, but he still kept going killing everyone he came into contact with......just a theory.
