What are Hugo's motives; why does he manipulate the other characters?
Hugo demonstrates a very clear, jealous side of him. He witnesses many of his peer’s happiness and cannot help but feel he does not have the same. These feelings of jealousy and less-than are rooted in a lack of attention and love from his father. In a desperate attempt to make himself feel better, and to draw attention to his own self, he desires to strip his peers of their own happiness and wellbeing.
Why might Odin be vulnerable to Hugo's actions?
Being one of Hugo’s good friends, Odin cannot help but naturally be in agreement with Hugo’s actions. Odin himself is under a high stress environment making it easy for him to gravitate towards Hugo, even if he is not able to see his “friend’s” distorted goals. Struggles with a current relationship make things worse for Odin, but make Hugo’s motivation to damage the people around him even stronger.
