Questions for lector:
Hannibal Lecter interests us so much because he is a cannibal. That is something that is so taboo in our society and since we are drawn to things that are different we are interested in his behaviors. His ability to see into people’s minds and read their mentality and behaviors are really interesting because he has such a keen ability for it because he was a psychiatrist before he was convicted as a murderer. His advanced mindset is also able to deeply plan things with intricate details and get away with very erratic schemes because he studies human behaviors. He knows them so well he can basically see what they will look at and act so he plans his schemes around premeditated behaviors. Hannibal being able to dissect aspects of people’s lives by their current behaviors is something that bewilders us and makes us pay very close attention. His whole personality and way about him intrigues us because he is so smart, sharp and pure evil.
Lecter talks to Starling because he finds her interesting. This is because she has had a traumatic childhood which caused her a lot of mental pain. Though she disguises it well, she is essentially one of his patients. She still hears the slaughtered lambs screaming in her sleep so she constantly works to try to save anyone she can, with hopes that saving someone will keep the sounds and screams out of her head. Hannibal can see right through this and is interested by her story and intent to save as many victims as possible. He also talks to her because she is smart and doesn’t fall into any traps. Lecter likes this about her and he wants to see what is in her mind that avoids his tricks and is so focused. He tells her that he has no plans to call on her meaning that he doesn’t intend to kill her. Hannibal won’t kill her because he likes her character and thinks that she is useful and should be kept around.
Conclusion: While watching the film, The Silence of the Lambs, I got an inside look at the mind of a

    An item of interest was the topic of vivisection, which made me think of Frankenstein even though there was no animals in that story. The story had me thinking of the ethics of experimenting on animals today. Testing no matter what the benefits to humans we must remember that animals are living beings as well and we can create great things without harming others. Overall the book was great. It had plenty elements of suspense and kept my interest throughout. I would recommend it to…

    Remarque tells of the dehumanizing effects that are perceived in ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’. When the young soldiers arrive at the frontline its nothing to what was anticipated as they had “just begun to love the world and being in it, but we had to shoot at it.” Remarque’s characterisation of Paul is naive and inexperienced as he only just begins to grasp the understanding, through torment and fatality, that they didn’t “believe in those things anymore; we believe in war” their new objective was to survive. Trained to disregard their conscience and distancing themselves from their own emotions, taught to let go of their former lifestyle. “Keep things at arm’s length” was their innovative technique in being able to endure the horrors of war. The audience is alarmed by the lack of emotion deemed by the young soldiers through Paul’s metaphoric language that “we have become wild beasts” enlightening context to the overall traumatic experiences that were inflicted. Remarque continues to portray the emotional state in a distant tone that “we are dead” convincing the audience they are completely detached…

    Since childhood, people learn to pursue a pure conscience, trust among loved ones, and to not sin. This lesson repeats itself until the end of time, but many still forget. Adults often struggle with realizing that society builds off of deceit out of a hunger for power. Others deceive themselves by living in a world of illusions, relishing the short-term bliss. That said, once the illusion crumbles, it also destroys him. Likewise, in East of Eden, John Steinbeck explores the double-edged sword of deception. Just as in society, many characters throughout the story appear innocent and sinless. Even so, Steinbeck evinces humanity’s inherent dependence upon the selfish use of deception, without considering the consequences.…

    "After 123 years of doing this" he whispers, "you get good at spotting the good ones- the sad ones, the wretched."
