However, it seems its themes are slowly drifting from the orld around Humanity to Humanity itself. Various artists find fascinating the possibility of imagining and exploring how the future shall be, what lies beyond the stars and what other sentient beings could be. Science is one of the great themes inside fiction. The hope that our fauls, no matter how big, can be erased by our virtous, no matter ho small, that the abyss may not be without bottom, and that we can always look in the mirror and say “I am not completely bad.

Even being a cannibal he manages to create beauty in its art. But even being a monster and being unapologetic about it, he manages to be charming. Of that there can be no doubt n and out of the story. He manipulates Dolarhyde into maiming Graham and seduces Clarice Starling, making her renounce her career, her principles, her family and almost her identity by brainwashing her.īut in my opinion what makes Hannibal alluring is hope.

Cannibalism is one of Humanity’s greatest taboos because it fuses two of the greatest evils: murder and desecration. The second point is doubtlessly his malignant nature.
