1. The lure of ultimate power for him, would be a good starting point in any study of this obnoxious ( that's one you missed out ) man.. Point ? your questions are more like a list given in an exam, you wouldn't be sitting one about Goering in the near future or researching for a small novella.
2. Goering was always hell bent on personal advancement and was always avaricious, arrogant and gluttonous. He became hooked on painkillers which only exacerbated these penchants. Hitler was a master manipulator, of the German people in addition to the higher ups that surrounded him. He picked personalities that were conflicting with each other so they would spend all their time infighting with each other and vying for power from Hitler. This way they would not challenge his rule. In reference to your query why the German people would take this bloated strutting toad seriously; in the beginning at least he was known as Germanys top fighter pilot ace in WWI and was respected in this way.
