hawk- dark, large bird; most commonly seen soaring high in the sky in circles
who is the hawk?
who are the doves?
The first shot of "O" consists of several doves in the foreground. Hugo is talking about how he envies the hawk. I believe that Odin (modeled after Othello) is the hawk. Obviously, the hawk is the darker bird. It is stronger and larger, just as Odin's character is portrayed. Later in the film, Hugo blindfolds the hawk. Because of the blindfold, the hawk can no longer see what is going on from above. The hawk, who always has control and can see what is going on, has been deceived by Hugo.
