These are two archetypes



These are two archetypes that are for the Hero embarking on the Journey (Hawks) or against it (Doves). Both debate the pros and cons of the journey . . . Dark Side. The danger of following the Call is that it could lead to the dark side. Doves often are against the Journey, not because of any selfishness, but because of the very real threat involved.

Aunt Prava is the dove, and Uncle Titon Rok is the hawk. Bherek wants to join the army - Aunt Prava opposes it and Uncle Titon supports it.

The hero Bherek too is in dilemma. His fear is exacerbated by the earlier Refusals, Interdictions and Dove and Hawk debates. They speak about the pros and cons.
