The people who get in his way are removed but not necessarily eaten. Again the text is ambiguous. We know of many victims that aren't described very well, such as the curator who held the position he wanted and a student's body that was never recovered. Also, he didn't eat from Mason Verger - apparently he was only good for dog food.
Thus Dr. Lecter seems to have strict standards and appears to uphold them religiously within his own insane frame of reference, which is only vaguely described so far. No one knows if the tale will be continued for such is the mystery of the author, who prefers not to say anything until after the book is written. The official backstory of Hannibal derives from the treatment his sister Mischa received and is explored in detail on his Wiki page.
In the books, Lecter and Mischa are very close. However, to escape the war his family movie into a lodge in a forest. One day, his parents are killed, and looters invade the lodge and hold them both captive. He attacks his first person at 13 a local butcher and then murders the man who kills his uncle, eating his cheeks which is his first act of cannibalism.
He proceeds to murder a total of nine people before he is eventually captured which brings us up to date with the films. These nine people include all six members of the group that attacked and killed his sister. In the three films, his back story of murders is briefly described, but his reasons for becoming a cannibal aren't explored in detail. In the series Hannibal , we see his background from the books, albeit with some subtly different details such as the order the men are killed. However, a young Hannibal, Mischa and all the various looters who attacked her are shown as are their deaths.
Hannibal certainly doesn't eat people for religious reasons, or sexual satisfaction. In fact, his exact rationale isn't clear. Remember, this is a man who does not fit any known psychological profile, as the books tell us. Ultimately, I don't think it's possible to concisely and succinctly describe the type of cannibal Lecter is, or even the type of criminal he is, as the books and films go out of their way to convey that he is a unique criminal who defies description.
I disagree slightly with Martin Andrew's answer on the Religious note. Religion plays a signifigant role in both understanding the character, his oragins, how he thinks, but also the series, since relgion plays a role for other characters as well.
Hannibal Rising's novel brilliance derives from the fact that Hannibal's origan story is born not only out of a war-torn Lithuania during WWII a eugenics war , in which his parents become the causualty of German planes and Russian tanks, but also it's story about class warfare, as it is poorer Lithuanians that become the biggest war criminals and do the unthinkable to Misha, Hannibal's little sistera sister Hannibal played "teacher" to When we see Hannibal's upbringing before the devistating event that changes Hannibal forever, readers learn he is VERY well educated.
The novel, through the teachings from his Jewish teacher , takes readers on a tour of his family's prestiegious castle, in which readers learn the Lecter family are decendents of Teutonic Knights. The reason that's signifigant is because Thomas Harris is making a religious or sacreligious point about Lithuania's history as it's a country, once Pagen , taken over by Christian Military Order!! That you are not enslaved in Heaven, made to kiss God's ass forever.
What you have is better than Paradise. You have blessed oblivion. I miss you every day. Hannibal later in the novel states that he is an athiest, but this really isn't exactly true, because he basically is waging war, being on a personal crusade, towards those that accosted his sisterIn the Hannibal self-titled novel, we learn Lecter is a Stephen Hawking fan believing in a now debunked theory of 'time moving in reverse' along with necromancy, as he is trying to alter Clarice Satrling to make her a vessel for his dead little sister's consciousness to reside in!!
A very metaphysical idea. Audiences fell in love with Hopkins as Hannibal and he returned to the role twice in the following years. The third story featuring the character was 's Hannibal, establishing an obvious pattern. With each work, Hannibal shifts from minor antagonist to the main center of attention. Hannibal is the first work in which Dr. Lecter is not incarcerated. Instead, Lecter evades the clutches of law enforcement and a vengeful former victim.
Starling and Lecter's relationship deepens in this story, and in the novel the two fall in love and run away together. The story was adapted into a film of the same name and informed both the second and third seasons of the TV series. Fans finally learn a little more about Dr. Lecter in Hannibal , as his backstory has been of little focus in the previous works. The details of his life and backstory are the direct subject of the final novel he stars in, 's Hannibal Rising.
Rumor has it that film producer Dino De Laurentis threatened Harris with a Hannibal backstory film without his input, which motivated Harris to write both the novel and the screenplay for the film adaptation. Both Hannibal and Hannibal Rising saw mixed cultural response for their bizarre reallocation of established characters, but these works finally answered the question of how Dr. Lecter became Hannibal the Cannibal. Will Graham is heterosexual, but Hannibal is absolutely in love with Will Graham because he represents the magic of humanity in a way that transcends sexuality.
Lecter engages with people who he either wants dead, to eat, or to play with. The famed literary and celluloid antagonist was based on a Mexican doctor who murdered his boyfriend in Will breaking up with Hannibal was his successful attempt to force a separation between them.
And yet, it seemed that Will tried to warn Hannibal that Jack was coming. She is the wife of Will Graham, the FBI profiler responsible for the capture of serial killer Hannibal Lecter, and who is later assigned to capture serial killer Francis Dolarhyde. This line did, however, appear in Hannibal , when Dr.
To the outside world, Lecter is insane AND, because we deem murder, cannibalism and the horrors he commits with insanity and to be inherently evil.
The victim of childhood trauma involving the killing of his family and the cannibalization of his baby sister, Lecter suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. Hannibal Lecter, M. Hannibal was of Italian heritage on his mother's side, so he also started investigating his bloodline along with his curatorial duties. But despite his efforts, he wasn't as incognito as he thought.
Hannibal's old "friend" Mason Verger had been stewing in his rage revenge juices for years, and put a multi-million dollar price tag on Lecter's whereabouts with an eye toward enacting an elaborate plan to feed his old nemesis alive to wild boars trained to eat human flesh. Detective Rinaldo Pazzi thought he had identified Lecter as Fell; instead of turning him in to the FBI or Interpol, Pazzi decided to try capturing him to claim the bounty.
Instead, Lecter killed him. In the meantime, a disgraced Clarice Starling — demoted after a botched heist — figured out the Mason Verger and Pazzi connection as well as Lecter's location.
Clarice tried to save her career by finding Lecter first, but Hannibal kidnapped her. Margot Verger ended up killing her brother Mason, and Hannibal took the fall for it. Hannibal slowly came to accept the horrific trauma of having eaten his own dear sister Mischa and how that had shaped his subsequent crimes and desires. While he was sexually attracted to Clarice, he also saw his sister in her.
Her anecdotes from their "quid pro quo" game all those years ago created a soft spot in Hannibal for Clarice, leaving oddly protective of her and wanting to keep her safe.
But even so, this didn't stop Hannibal from hurting Clarice. He attempted to drug and brainwash her into believing she really was Mischa so he could have a proxy of his sister back, but Clarice was too mentally strong, even for Lecter's considerable machinations, and she overpowered his attempts.
During that process of hypnosis, though, Clarice was altered mentally, becoming a different kind of student of Hannibal Lecter's singular psychopathy. Clarice and Hannibal became romantically involved and were last spotted in Buenos Aires. By the end, it was unclear whether Clarice was with him because of his thrall or she'd actually chosen to align herself with the serial killer she once hunted. In , showrunner Bryan Fuller created an arthouse version of Hannibal Lecter's story that drew heavily from the previous books and movies while simultaneously creating a new narrative.
Played by Mads Mikkelsen, Fuller's Lecter was in his 40s, with a backstory that saw him going to Florence as a young man and starting his killing there.
Inspired by " The Monster of Florence ," Fuller drew from the real-life set of 16 ritualized murders that took place between — — and for which conspiracies still abound that the real killer remains at large. Fuller's Hannibal was also the Baltimore PD's on-call psychiatrist for profiling purposes and didn't just work sporadically with the department. He acted as therapist to many of his colleagues, including Will Graham, with whom he had a deeply intense and complicated relationship that bordered on erotic.
This version of Hannibal is not only the Chesapeake Ripper, but often mimicked killings of the same murderers he'd been tasked to help catch, adding to their body counts. Lecter's martial arts training was also far more apparent in the television show than the books or movies.
Also unlike other versions, Hannibal 's three-season run offered a textbook manual on how to identify Hannibal's gaslighting practices along with his cannibalism, which was sometimes equally disturbing. Here, Hannibal even managed to frame Graham for a series of murders Hannibal himself committed — all the while convincing Graham that he actually did it. Bryan Fuller's Hannibal didn't just deepen the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal, it also added a number of key characters who helped make the new iteration of Hannibal Lecter profoundly three-dimensional.
Many of these characters appeared marginally in Thomas Harris' books, but Fuller gave them new life. Chiyoh was Lady Murasaki's maid, and in this version she helped Hannibal find, torture, and imprison the men who killed his sister.
A gender-flipped Dr. Alana Bloom, first mentioned in Red Dragon as Alan, became a pivotal figure torn between helping a troubled Will Graham and being actively gaslighted by her serial killer boyfriend Hannibal Lecter.
Garrett Jacob Hobbs, the killer known as the Minnesota Shrike, and his daughter Abigail were also mentioned in Red Dragon , and played a much larger role in the television Hannibal's three-season arc. Another Red Dragon character, the relentless tabloid journalist Freddie Lounds, was also gender-flipped and survived.
