Dr. Hannibal's transformation may seem absurd, but it makes sense.
As a successful senior psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal has been respected and trusted by everyone. You can see him sitting there politely, smiling and listening carefully to every patient's complaints, patiently helping them resolve their inner fears and anxieties. His language is beautiful and moving, and his image is elegant and upright, just like an English gentleman in the 17th century. ; He loves art, Florence is his favorite during the Renaissance, he is proficient in Dante's "Divine Comedy", he likes medieval architecture, he is familiar with classical music, he likes to drink wine while smiling and eating his own hands The delicious food cooked, the only difference is that the food is filled with human flesh.
When humans surpass monkeys, humans will no longer sympathize with the death of monkeys, and even feed on monkeys.
On the surface, Dr. Hannibal made the transition from a respectable psychiatrist to a ghastly ogre, but in essence, he made the transition from human to superhuman. Once this transformation is successful, then in the eyes of Dr. Hannibal, what he eats is not human flesh. It is not difficult to explain why his pulse can still not exceed 85 when he is chewing human tongues.
No fear, no unease, no doubt, not even guilt, he eats human flesh just as we eat animal flesh.
Dr. Hannibal once said: I made a mistake. But he himself obviously has no regrets for this mistake, and is even a little complacent. As a reputable psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal was able to get a glimpse of the animal nature of human beings while helping patients with mental or mental illnesses. Greed, sadness, rage, laziness, conceit and arrogance, when these seven deadly sins are shown naked in front of Dr. Hannibal in different forms every day, it is not difficult to imagine the subtle psychological changes of Dr. Hannibal. If Hannibal was just an ordinary person and not a high-level psychiatrist, he might still be able to help others before he completely became a perverted ogre, but his identity hindered all of this. He has always been the rescuer. Rescuers who save themselves have always only led themselves into a more desperate dead end. When Dr. Hannibal knew all about the evil in human nature, it was also the beginning of his self-destruction. While he was digging out the sins of others, the darkness hidden in his heart began to move, and as a result, Dr. Hannibal fell into a paradox - those who were redeemed were the ones who should be redeemed the most.
In the beginning, Hannibal just used the patient's psychology to subtly stimulate them to vent their inner animality, and watched as a bystander. He watched with relish and even found a kind of pleasure from it. , that pleasure comes from a distant and unfamiliar field, it stimulates Dr. Hannibal all the time, making him appreciate the beauty of the most primitive animal nature of human beings. But these are far from satisfying Dr. Hannibal. What he needs is a stronger pleasure, which will bring an unprecedented sense of freedom, which is supernaturalism-abandoning all shackles and only following the animal nature of human beings.
Dr. Hannibal really did this. From eating the first person, Dr. Hannibal tasted the beauty of complete liberation, which made him want to stop. The second, the third, the fourth...until it happened. In the process of committing the crime, Dr. Hannibal brought his wisdom to the fullest. He is calm, objective, high IQ, strong in control, coupled with keen insight and excellent psychological quality, making his crime look more like It is an art, as mysterious and eerie as medieval religious philosophy. At this time, Dr. Hannibal has transformed into a "superhuman" existence, which in a sense has something in common with Nietzsche's "superhuman".
The Doctor is trying to use his own behavior to judge the animality of human beings. In the world of his mind, he is undoubtedly playing the role of "God". He eats them and turns them into feces and excretes them. The ridicule of human beings is a denial of human civilization and a judgment on the animality of human beings. Dr. Hannibal's horrifyingly distorted values precisely reflect his resistance to the dark side of human beings.
When people exclaim about Dr. Hannibal's perverted brutality, they ignore the possibility that each of us has the potential to be the next Dr. Hannibal. The animal nature of human beings is innate and will not disappear or decrease sharply due to billions of years of evolution. It is only sealed by the civilization accumulated by human beings in the process of development. Once the seal is broken, the port leading to animality is opened but cannot be closed in time, no matter who it is, they will be encouraged by primitiveness to walk further and further on the avenue of animality, becoming a dangerous existence beyond human beings. The thrill of complete liberation shone with alluring light like a gorgeous poppy, guiding the bewildered lamb to slide into the dark abyss.
I remember reading a sentence a long time ago: no matter where you go, no matter what you are doing, or even what you say, there are always a pair of eyes beside you watching your every move, and when you are hesitating Bewitch your mind for a moment, for his use. However, when human nature began to shake and animal nature slowly rose, there were a few people who were able to put out the fire of sin in their hearts in time.
The existence of human beings is itself a protracted war, and it is more like a joke. Hemingway once wrote in his novel: The world is so beautiful that it is worth fighting for him!
Perhaps, only the second half is true.
