The birth of a killer
The Philosophers' Magazine 47 (47):67-72 (2009)
Abstract
If Lecter is merely a psychotic, with no choice but to do what he does, then he is to be pitied, not blamed for his actions. As soon as you start pitying him, thespell is broken and he ceases to be mesmerising. If he can’t control himself, he appears to be much less powerful as a result.Other Versions
