Hannibal 1.07 Sorbet

Much has been made of Will’s inscrutable expression in this scene. What could he be thinking? The dramatic music playing in the background may provide a clue.

It comes from an opera rendition of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, called Patria Oppressa! It plays during Act IV, Scene I. The beginning of the Act is Macbeth’s return to the Three Witches. He asks them to reveal the truth of their prophecies. They summon apparitions that tell him that "none of a woman born / shall harm Macbeth," and that he is safe until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth is relieved and feels secure because he knows that all men are born of women and forests cannot possibly move. At the end of the play, Macduff is revealed to have been born via c-section (and thus not “of a woman born”) and the English army advances to Dunsinane Hill using tree branches cut from Birnam Wood as camouflage. Macbeth is slain by Macduff in battle.

How does this relate to the scene at hand? If we go with the interpretation that Will is looking upon Hannibal as a savior here based on visual and storytelling cues (Hannibal is saving the life of Silvestri’s victim, he is bathed in light, elevated, while Will is in the darkness. Will trusts and regards Hannibal even more positively after this experience, even going later to Hannibal’s house to give him wine). Will is given a false sense of security in the vision of Hannibal saving someone’s life, while failing to see/suppressing the darker ramifications, that Hannibal’s surgical skills on display here means that he fits the profile of the Chesapeake Ripper. Just like Macbeth, Will believes he’s safe when in reality his doom is sealed.

Tag! :3 :3

I was tagged by @wanderingquill, thank youuu!!!!!

name: Magdalena

nickname: Maggie, Lenči

zodiac: Scorpio, yay :3

Favorite fruit: nectarines, watermelons

favorite season: Oh, they are all rather adorable, but Summer is lovely for there is no class, yeehaw. And I adore the scent of rain in early Spring.

Favorite book: Terry Pratchett novels, Dickens novels, Pale Fire of Nabokov.

Favorite flower: Amaranths and orchids.

Favorite scent: Rain, scented oils, warmth, fresh wood.

Favorite animal : I want them all, please.

coffee, tea or hot cocoa: I shall order everything from the offered menu, I am feeling rather ambitious today.

Average hours of sleep: 6 to 7, far too little for my taste and needs.

cats or dogs: Allow me to take both.

Favorite fictional character: Raven, Anti-Cosmo, Percival Graves, Rincewind.

Dream trip: Oh, my, I have already been to so many locations that I have become virtually indifferent to this.

When was your blog created: December 2016.

What do you post about: Fantastic Beasts, beautiful aesthetic, adorable animals, occasional Hannibal or Gotham, sometimes dark aesthetic or pastel goth things, literature quotes.

Aesthetic: I post both innocent and darker things. Almost akin to the metaphor of the two sides of the Moon that represent me, the luminous crescent part is my playful self that wishes for all to be bathed in cuteness and kindness, and the tenebrous half is my rather naughty persona that is probably studying alchemy to acquire world domination.

Band: I am more into specific songs of bands, rather than bands as a whole. Unforgiven trilogy of songs of Metallica, Sounds of Silence of Disturbed, Control and Colors of Halsey.

Fictional Characters I’d date: Believe it or not, I wouldn’t date any of them xD they are all totally insane xD

Hogwarts house : Slytherin. A Slytherin that would probably chat with a Ball Python all day and combine Muggle technology to be fueled with raw magic and then the world shall be mine muahaha xD
