it's interesting that there are so many important women in Hannibal Lecter's life: his mother, sister, aunt, Clarice. but not a single man who had any significant influence on his personality. he's such a mommy's boy

am i the only one who can't reconcile Hannibal Lecter's biological age with his character description in the books? i mean, he's over sixty in the third volume. however, there's no mention of him having gray hair, only sleek black hair. he's very slender, despite not doing any physical activity. he's also incredibly strong. and his sexual activity with Clarice at the end of the book is also admirable

i'm thinking that in the world created by Thomas Harris, Dr. Lecter is something of a pop culture icon. they're probably releasing merchandise and writing biographies about him. barney auctioned off Hannibal's personal belongings and it was incredibly popular. so Clarice and Hannibal live in Argentina, visit bookstores and can't help but notice the interest writers and journalists have in Hannibal. does this kind of literature amuse Clarice, who is perhaps the only person in the world who knows everything about Hannibal's childhood? has she ever considered writing about his life herself, to dispel all these rumors and insinuations? and to what extent does this interest in him satisfy Hannibal's ego or perhaps, on the contrary, anger him?

it's so sweet that Hannibal adores the unisex brand 'Santa Maria Novella.' he sends Clarice a set of lotions and soaps from Florence and keeps a few boxes for himself. they definitely share a shelf of skincare products in their bathroom in Buenos Aires 😅

get your birthday kisses, doctor 😏

did Hannibal actually have Ganser syndrome? in ‘Red Dragon’ he tells Will Graham that his lawyer used this diagnosis to protect him from prison. however, in ‘Hannibal’ Clarice remarks to Mason that Hannibal never pleaded insanity during his trial. we know how much he dislikes looking inside himself and trying to diagnose himself. so was Ganser syndrome an excuse to avoid prison or was Hannibal actually diagnosed with it by other psychiatrists?
