Why did he act so autistic when he learned the truth about his muddah?

How much more betrayal could you take?

If you had a mother you'd understand

Get over it faggot

He was a self-absorbed manchild with no wife, kids or even real friends. All he had to cling to emotionally was his self-image and the narrative of his life, and that violated it.

It’s like Tony and animals, he displaces this performances of affection or loyalty onto his mother so he can feel like a good person despite being a lowlife backstabbing greedy petty murderous psychopath in all other scenarios. So feeling betrayed by his ‘mother’ upsets the entire emotional equilibrium he’s maintained for himself. Pauline has a very pronounced stingy vindictiveness, so he feels like he was getting "ripped-off" by showing affection to this woman, not to mention the revelation that his real mother abandoned him and was a hooah, inflaming Paulie’s self-worth and posturing about having some kind of class

He wasn never eligible to becpme a made man if his father was non-Italian. Since he never met his real father, it means his entire Italian identity is a lie.
