will is werewolf coded because his darkness is hidden and repressed even to himself. he fights against it relentlessly, but he can’t get rid of it no matter how hard he tries. he only comes to terms with what he is under the light of the moon when he realises how much he loves the hunt.

hannibal is vampire coded because his darkness is always there, an irrepressible hunger within him. he can hide it from other people but never from himself, and so eventually gives in to his most violent impulses, despite the cultured exterior he gives off

idk i think it’s neat. they’re both so cool

Dr. Du Maurier holds such a tight grip on her own expressions, clearly striving to keep Hannibal at arm's length.

Deer Symbolism in Hannibal

"The deer is consistently mentioned throughout the Bible, symbolizing themes of longing, agility, and spiritual aspiration. It represents grace, beauty, swiftness, and a deep longing for God in biblical teachings."

Biblical themes are constantly evoked throughout the show, Hannibal is even portrayed as Jesus, who is God's child. We all know about the stagman and what it represents but in Will's mind, there isn't always the hannistag, sometimes it is a simple stag.

What about when Will gives in and thinks he has killed Hannibal, he then becomes the stag. Either it means Will has is becoming a stagman just like Hannibal or it can also simply mean he has seen God and he longs for Him even more. Beauty is one of the things that deer symbolize, isn't what the show is about? Will finally seeing beauty in Hannibal, in himself and in the way they kill and eat?

I think the deer doesn't represent Will's darkest desires, I thought so at first, I just think it's him, it's who he is and tries to avoid. There is no darkness in that, simply beauty and grace.

Also when Will's deer 'dies' with Abigail, when he wakes and hallucinates conversations with her, he is torn between wanting to follow Hannibal or do what is morally acceptable in society. He never stops fighting himself, but when it died Will forgave Hannibal and he finally stopped pretending. It can also simply mean that he died inside, since the deer represents him as a whole: as who he is entirely with all the parts he hides deep within himself.

I think we should really differentiate Will's stag and the Hannibal stagman because they represent two different things.

I'll get more into details about this because I'm currently on my 5th Hannibal rewatch

Franklyn has the worst taste in friends, but I certainly don't blame him. Who could resist Hannibal's appeal?

Hannibal and Will reuniting and acknowledging their love in front of the primavera means so much to me actually. The centrepoint of the primavera is the goddess Venus. Chloris the nymph blooms into Flora the goddess at the touch of Zephyr's love, and heralds the coming of spring. The painting is symbolic of all the themes of renewal, new beginnings, and transformative love shared between the both of them. I can't even imagine how Hannibal must have felt in that moment, sat next to the man he loves that he has changed and that changed him in front of the painting that depicted the connection he desperately craved all those years.
