'O' Response:

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

The source of Hugo's motives comes from his desire for love and attention from his father. A dark and twisted jealousy grew within him when his father began treating Odin like family and favoring him with pride. Hugo began manipulating other characters to bring them down to make him look good, particularly in front of his father.

Why is Odin vulnerable to Hugo's manipulations?

There are two factors that conclude as to why Odin is so vulnerable to Hugo's manipulations. Hugo is initially trusted by all the characters, and particularly Odis. Secondly, manipulation just happens to be Hugo's prime element. It is what he excels at the most throughout the play and movie, and he uses it to his advantage in attempts to crush Odis.

Good ideas. Wait until we see the play - it is manipulation at its peak!
