He wanted to save the house.
So Hugo, yes, the idea of him being here, I think that was so important to him.
And the idea that he was sort of was struggling to do that.
And he was so ill-equipped for this role that had been passed to him.
And I think that hopefully, you know, someone, you know, Maximus, you know, knows that and he understands that.
And so he has such compassion for Hugo.
Well, I think I think I think Hugo, because he's so he can become so dark and so dark.
He's quite exaggerated character in some ways in his behavior.
He has such intensities of emotion.
You know, that heroic spirit that you sort of saw
And then when that's thwarted and the despair that comes with that.
So he's very high and low.
And so you can, I had fun playing with that.
And then, you know, the compassion that comes through the end, his love for, you know, the woodlice in the kitchen and little things like that.
I think he has great capacity to love.
So, yes, I'm very fond of Hugo.
Do you have a hope for what readers will take away from this book?
I don't know, really.
I hope they would enjoy it, you know, just that they'd enjoy spending time in this beautiful house, as I did, you know, enjoy, you know, spending time with these siblings and watching them try and perhaps, you know, I'm hoping that a reader will identify the cause of their problems and have compassion for them and have perhaps, you know, more compassion perhaps for others who display, you know, similar behaviours.
you know, this idea of life driving us to madness.
