The Dwarf

Dear readers,

So I looked up the Dwarf's name from Hanna and it is Isaac. After telling this to Luke and he brought up about how the name has religious meaning I have decided to investigate every last part of it and list it here:
  • Only son of Abraham
  • Patriarch of Isrealites (one of three)
  • Lived until he was 180 years old (pretty sure this wasn't the case with The Dwarf)
  • Name means "He laughs/will laugh"
  • Biblical character himself could represent old legendary heroes, semi nomadic leaders or a figure representing tribal history.
Of course we can't follow this to the bullet point because the Dwarf definitely did not live until he was 180 years old, his club does not appear to be called Isrealites and we don't know if his father was named Abraham. Although the character definitely seemed like the character that would want to get in the last laugh, with all the club owning, criminal activity and murdering for the a rogue government agent going on.

Semi nomadic leaders I can definitely see. Nomadic tribes are known for hunting and his goal in the film was hunting (in this case he was hunting Hanna). He would only be semi nomadic because he owns a club and could theoretically stay at the club however they in both cases the hunt would be out necessity. Perhaps back in nomadic days they had to leave for new pastures and in the case of the Dwarf he left because the Witch likely had blackmail on him and his criminal activities.

This is the relations I found and I hope it is enjoyable,
