Critical Analysis

Hecatommithi

In the short story Hecatommithi the theme of jealousy, i believe would be best portrayed in the play. I believe that jealousy determines how much you trust a person; it would be to portray this emotion to the audience as it is something we can all relate to. If one feels jealous and believes the lies that are being told to them simply means that the trust between the two of them is not mutual. The theme of jealousy is very prominent throughout the entire story changing how we see the intentions of each character.The jealousy created by Hugo, i believe would make the play come to life and would make the play relate to modern day life.

I believe that the Ensign will kill himself after he kills Desdemona, because he can't live a day without her in his life. The guilt would bring him down very fast and he would not be able to live with it on his conscience

What are Hugo's motives; why does he manipulate the other characters?

In the movie “O”, Hugo, one of the main characters, has very jealous intentions from the start. He lacks love and affection from his father, who does not pay attention to Hugo. Hugo’s father discards Hugo and treats his team mate Odin more like a son than he ever did to hugo. Hugo is very jealous of the treatment that Odin receives and becomes determined to do anything, hurt anyone, to get his father’s affection. Hugo goes behind everyone’s back keeping many lies, and keeping on everyone’s good side.

Why might Odin be vulnerable to Hugo's actions?

Odin is vulnerable to Hugo’s actions because he is a very jealous character. Odin’s life before he came to the high school was troubling and difficult, which after he hears about Desi, begins to go back to. He is very gullible, and believes everything that Hugo says, never trusting that his love for Desi was enough. He loved Desi so much that he could never see her with another guy, and would do anything to make sure she never ended up with someone else.
