OK SO VERY BAD RUNDOWN OF HANNIBAL'S NAME ENTOMOLOGY,
So, are a few, we have the 'original' name ie the non-catholic version. From the Roman general Hannibal, which mean grace of Baal, a Canaanite-Phoenician god of rainstorms and fertility. But, also Baal in later Mesopotamian mythologies was also a god of war. Along with being a war god he was also linked with the god of Justice. Now, I have no idea what the author was cooking when he thought of the name. But, if we take this idea of Justice and Rainstorms. Rain, and water by extension is the 'creator' of life and what allows us to exist. And by naming him, favored of the 'water/war god' power/influence over life and death. heres the funky lil guy
Anyways, now for the Catholic/Christian ver, Ba'al is Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. Now, associated with Gluttony and Cannibalism. And the 'fallen angel' archetype could also be associated with his 'fall' from his Count status into the swamp and poverty.
Does anyone else absolutely hate that they changed Margot Verger from a butch bodybuilder lesbian to a traditionally pretty femme woman in the TV series? Because I think about it at least once a week and it makes me spitting mad.
One of my favorite things is watching Hannibal with my lawyer husband. He becomes progressively more outraged. Every time. No matter how many times we rewatch it. Like he'll never forgive Will for not suing everyone. Suing the FBI is this man's Roman Empire.
You wouldn't believe the sheer force of his his disappointment when Freddie didn't bite it - "She's worse! (than Hannibal) How is she alive?! (to Will on screen) C'mon buddy,just this once,no one is going to miss her! She's trespassing,breaking and entering,we can spin that!" - so if you're ever wondering what a lawyer considers evil,it's apparently tabloid reporters.
