If there's one thing that gives me the ick it's when people paint Will as being much less educated/knowledgeable than Hannibal and give him a distaste for all Hannibal's interest. Some of you act like this man never opened a book. He WROTE and published one?? He has bookshelves full of classical titles in his house (he has a big house. We only ever get to see his living room and kitchen, who knows what kind of study he has that’s filled with books). Including poetry (he has Shakespeare and Wilde on his shelves, who knows what else with less big spine titles). That man has a big house! He doesn't put his bed on the ground floor for no reason. And no, Will wouldn't dislike classical music and neither would he be new to it. He has a piano with sheet music (so actively playing) at home. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays more instruments. Maybe not as obscure as Hannibal's harpsichord and theremin, but more nonetheless. Will loves art, too!!! He knows a couple of things about S. Botticelli, better assume he knows other things. I mean, he can consider Hannibal's tableaus art, calls killing beautiful, that of itself is an art form and artistic vision of the world he shares with Hannibal. He can also cook. Yes, not like Hannibal, but that man wouldn't let Will sous-chef if he was a bad cook no matter how in love he may be with him. There's gotta be some skill to get permission to use Hannibal's kitchen, no matter how pretty someone may be. Hannibal can discuss any subject he wants with Will because he'll catch onto it. I'm not even going to start on the fact that some people act like Will isn't able to keep up with Hannibal's conversations and metaphors. That man bounces them back at him twice as hard. Will Graham. Isn't. Stupid. !!!.
He's not clueless, he's not uncultured, he's not pedestrian. The thing about Will is that he's adaptable. Hannibal doesn't coax his darkness out of him, he brings Will's true self to the light, which is a highly intelligent, cultured, dangerous and fearless man. The fact that he prefers a minimal life, masking his knowledge and also his wealth (because he is wealthy, but that's a different story), over Hannibal's eye-catching dramatics doesn't mean that he doesn't have it. Yes, not as much as Hannibal, but they do have similar interests. If anyone would be clueless it's Hannibal, because I can guarantee that man DOESN'T know how to fix a boat motor with his Aristocratic French boarding school past. (Although he would learn really fast if Will taught him.) They are way more alike than some make them out to be, Hannibal just has a huge amount of theatrics that Will doesn't care for. Hannibal flaunts his personality, Will owns it. That's the difference.
