The word ‘fleisch’, in German, provokes me to an involuntary shudder. In the English language, we make a fine distinction between flesh, which is usually alive and, typically, human; and meat, which is dead, inert, animal and intended for consumption. Substitute the word ‘flesh’ in the Anglican service of Holy Communion; ‘Take, eat, this is my meat which was given for you …’ and the sacred comestible becomes the offering of something less than, rather than more than, human. ‘Flesh’ in English carries with it a whole system of human connotations and the flesh of the Son of Man cannot be animalised into meat without an inharmonious confusion of meaning. But, because it is human, flesh is also ambiguous; we are adjured to shun the world, the flesh and the Devil.

Pan’s Labyrinth / Hannibal

You’re going to a very dangerous place, so be careful. The thing that slumbers there, it’s not human. You will see a sumptuous banquet, but don’t eat or drink anything. Your life depends on it.

“The violation of Will’s body bears comparison to the eroticism of the wounded male body of Saint Sebastian. The youthful Sebastian is usually depicted nearly naked, tied to a tree with a slightly effeminate pose. Spears pierce his body while he maintains a beatific gaze towards the heavens in religious ecstasy (see Derek Jarman’s Sebastiane (1976) or Pierre et Gilles��� painting San Sebastian for contemporary interpretations). This evocation of erotic masochism is made evident in the final scene of ‘Mizumono’: Will’s gaze at Hannibal is both sorrowful and deferential if not reverential, and his passivity and apparent willingness to take Hannibal’s knife is reminiscent of depictions of Sebastian. Also indicative is the fact that, like Sebastian, he does not die. Will’s relentless suffering is what Richard Kaye (1999: 270) refers to in his analysis of Victorian depiction of St. Sebastian as ‘the heroic survival of the catastrophic […] [in which the character] relentlessly exposes themselves to, and seem to revel in, the vicissitudes of traumatic experience’.”

— Leila Taylor from “The amorous annihilation of will: An examination of Georges Bataille’s Death & Sensuality through Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal.” (via girlkillsgod)

"Parts that precede pity and morality"

[In nature] there is no mercy; we make mercy, manufacture it in the parts that have overgrown our basic reptile brain. There is no murder. We make murder, and it matters only to us. Graham knew too well that he contained all the elements to make murder; perhaps mercy too. He understood murder uncomfortably well, though. He wondered if, in the great body of humankind, in the minds of men set on civilization, the vicious urges we control in ourselves and the dark instinctive knowledge of those urges function like the crippled virus the body arms against. He wondered if old, awful urges are the virus that makes vaccine.

—Thomas Harris, Red Dragon
