Have you ever watched "Red Dragon"? If so, you would know that Hannibal Lecter's privacy was invaded. Staff at that prison found a note from The Tooth Fairy to Lecter, rolled up in his toilet roll supply. They tried to make Lecter think that they were fixing some lights and cleaning the cells and corridors, and during that time while Lecter was bound up with his mask in some sort of quarantine room, the note went through so much analysing, went through so many people. Eventually he discovered that they found his note, even before he was returned to his cell. Still, don't you feel sorry for him?
Imagine having your most prized possession found and analysed by someone when all you want to do is keep that possession to yourself. It's like having someone find your diary full of secrets and display it to the world.
Would you like that?

Dr. Chilton is/was an amazingly annoying guy in the show. He always dangles things of comfort/pleasure infront of Lecter but never lets him have it. I still don't understand why he can't stand Lecter. They're always at each other, although not physically. Poor Lecter. I'd die if I had to see people like Dr. Chilton everyday.

Francis Dolarhyde is/was another pitiful character in the show. He only had a little scar between his nose and lip, but years of abuse from his grandmother made him think that he was deformed. I think his ideas are really good, though. He smashes mirrors and inserts the tiny bits into the eyes of corpses.
How come all the serial killers in the Lecter series are so smart? They can work with codes, they think a lot, they have great ideas, they're really sensitive. They can hear really well, and they react quickly to sudden things. They're always prepared.
What does it really take for one to become like that?
