There have been many reincarnations of Hook past and present (I will mention a few more in this post for comparison reasons) but I think my favorite so far must be the one presented in “Alias Hook” by Lisa Jensen. There is also, I think, a lasting and strong childhood love in each and every one of us for Pirates and since Pirates of the Caribbean that love has grown even stronger and brought our beloved Captain to new life. He is charming and cunning and at times rather frightening but that makes us love him more. We are instead facinated and perhaps even infatuated with him, his flamboyance, style, character traits. What is it about him that draws us? Since he is a villain we should be repulsed by him but we dont seem to be. Captain Hook might be one of the most iconic and most recognizeable Villains in either literary or film history and he returns again and again in so many different stories, especially recently.
