In many adaptions it is established that James Hook had a complicated relationship with his parents. Hook also feels isolated, a mismatch who is above the dogged crew around him, one who must set an example for them. While he seeks to carry out his treacherous acts with civility and nobility - and succeeds he is not without fairness or consideration-he is forever critiquing himself as to whether he has upheld his code. He is at odds with the conventions of blue-blooded, civilized society, and the life he leads as a Pirate. Hook cannot break out from the inner struggle he’s placed on himself. He fears the sight of his own blood which is of a strange color.
Hook is often rendered powerless in the face of the question of good form. Hook is a talented fencer and he is noted to be a man of "indomitable courage", that was also his nickname in college. Hook is not an entirely un-heroic character and does strive to act nobly throughout his ferocious acts. He is sinister, yet polite and always exhibits elegant diction, and signs of his good breeding which draws Wendy Darling to him. Hook is hot-tempered and treats his crew like dogs. It also bothers Hook that Peter does not fear him and causes the other lost boys to not fear him. The fact that Peter will not grow up - and is thus not affected by time whereas Hook is chased for it - fuels Hook's wrath for him. Hook is described as "cadaverous" and "blackavised", with "eyes which were of the blue of the forget-me-not" ("save when he was plunging his hook into you, at which time two red spots appeared in them and lit them up horribly") and long dark curls resembling "black candles".īarrie also stated in "Captain Hook at Eton" that he was, "in a word, the handsomest man I have ever seen, though, at the same time, perhaps slightly disgusting" His eyes are said to turn red when he is about to plunge his hook into his victim, and his blood is of "an unusual color" frightening even Hook himself. Hook is described as having long, curled black hair, wearing a long red coat, and having his hook as his right hand. He then replaced his hand with an iron hook and hence his present name was born. He was born in England and attended Eton College as well Balliol College during his youth.ĭuring the early 20th Century, he met and fought against Peter Pan for unknown reasons and in the sword fight, Pan cut off Hook's hand, then fed it to a gigantic crocodile. His real name was never revealed all that was known was that he was a "man who's real name, if revealed, would set the country in a blaze".
Little is known of Hook's early life or his origins.

As Law shared, they figured the pirate at one point must have injured his eye in a moment of forgetfulness.In the novel Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom, it is confirmed that Captain Hook's full name is James and he is the same character from J.M. The decision has a lot to do with the filmmakers thinking deeply about what it would be like to be Captain Hook and have a hook rather than a hand. And the eye was one of those, the idea that he had, he had damaged one eye, just seemed fitting. And because obviously of this huge hunk of metal that he has strapped to his right hand, he decided that he would surely have scars where early on he'd either caught his face or, indeed in battle. And, early on after much dialogue and shared emails, David sent me a Photoshop of me as he saw Hook. Putting the look of Hook together was a really collaborative, slow, meticulous process, and it was linked very much also to his past, which obviously we delve into in this version. Law told us the story behind the choice with these words: In particular, why does this version of Captain Hook have two eye colors? If you’ve experienced Peter Pan & Wendy with a Disney+ subscription, you probably noticed Law’s version has one blue eye and one pitch black eye.
