The exciting end to The Poppy War trilogy, R.F. In this case, Hook’s conversational implicatures intimate sadistic pleasure in humiliation, torture and murder. This study shows how the attribution of malice and malignity can be triggered when a character’s sarcastic performance is perceived to breach social and moral limits. Captain Hook is too polished a villain to lower himself to the crudeness of foul insults and vulgar curses but revels instead in abusing his targets by subverting and contravening the conventional norms of conversation and society. The chapter demonstrates how an author influences a reader’s ascription of a villainous identity by associating it with the pragmatic untruthfulness that underlies a character’s sarcastic utterances. Leo Loveday’s study applies the framework of illocutionary speech acts in " The Making of a Sarcastic Villain: The Pragmatics of Captain Hook’s Impoliteness" but explores how these can be exploited for stylistic goals and may function as a device for literary characterisation.
