#spoilers: it's Hannibal

[abominable-space-they]

My favorite part of Hannibal calling will a Mongoose right in the very beginning is that a mongoose isn't a pet trained to protect ppl from snakes.

The show has reoccurring themes around the difference between a wild predator like wolves that choose their own meals, and the domesticated hunter like a dog, who's told when, where, and how to hunt. The hound that knows how to find and track the prey, does all the work of the hunt, then has their meal taken from them to be fed kibble and scraps instead.

Hannibal finds the latter an insult to the hunter who's skills the people need to feed themselves.

But a mongoose isn't a hound, a barn cat, or even a trained hawk. They're wild animals that eat snakes of their own volition, because they want to, because they need to, because that's their natural diet. If you live in venomous snake territory and happen to share living space w/ a mongoose, you're lucky enough to be benefiting from their natural appetites

Hannibal lives in metaphorical venomous snake territory and considers himself lucky...

Because Will is the mongoose that eats all the snakes that try to slither into their backyard

Was it casual when you threw us off a cliff with your arms wrapped around me because you couldn't live with or without me?
