You gotta give props to Mads Mikkelsen for playing such a pretentious character who constantly talks in metaphors because I know for a fact he didn’t understand at least half of what he was saying, but still slayed that role so hard

I was rewatching Hannibal and noticed something banal that I hadn't noticed before. In this scene, Franklyn says that he is not afraid of loneliness, but he is afraid of pain.

And then Hannibal hesitates a little with his answer, as if he doesn’t want to admit it. But soon he answers:

And right after this dialogue we are shown this scene:

Hannibal feels the dull ache Franklyn spoke of. Because Will brightened his loneliness, but he didn't come that evening. Shortly before this scene, Bedelia said that Hannibal must be lonely, hiding behind a social suit. To which he replied: «I have friends». I am once again convinced that it was only after meeting Will that Hannibal understood the sincerity of this definition. This was the first time I watched therapy with Franklyn without the fun.

the entire plot of Hannibal is literally that two gays matched each others freak a little too hard and ascended from humanity itself and started eating people

Hunger is obviously a major theme in Hannibal—it’s literally the cannibal show—but the difference in how that’s portrayed with Hannigram is intriguing.

Hannibal was starving for connection before he had Will, and then everything changed for him. As Bedelia tells Will, “Did he daily feel a stab of hunger, and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes.” Hannibal’s hunger is sated by so much as the sight of Will. A mere look at him is enough to satisfy him.

But Will is different. Rather than being sated by his connection with Hannibal, it is the very thing that makes him hungry. There’s a frame in the Italy chapter that makes it look like he’s trapped in a starvation cage. In the script for his sailing scene, he’s literally described to look hungry:

Both Hannibal and Will have a possessive, obsessive, all-consuming love for one another, but it affects them quite differently. Hannibal is nourished by the very sight of Will, but for Will, no amount of the profound attention he experiences from Hannibal can fully sate his hunger—it’s a high he can’t help but chase. It fuels his pathological need to return to Hannibal again and again, no matter how self-destructive it is. I think this is why Will is more outwardly possessive of Hannibal than Hannibal is of Will. Hannibal wants Will to be his; Will wants Hannibal to be no one else’s. Both forms of possession, but Will’s is more jealous because of the way he experiences Hannibal’s attention. It’s a high, it’s a hunger—it’s a need, not a want.

Will, covered in sweat and in nothing but his underwear and a ratty t-shirt: Hannibal. Good morning, how did you sleep? Hannibal, overwhelmed by the vision of Michelangelo's David in front of him: Gay. Hannibal: ...I mean good. I slept very well.
