margotverger:folieatux:I let you see me.#i would have preferred to be the last #Bluebeard #Hannibal is… fundamentally at its core a Bluebeard narrative #Antipasto is Hannibal dealing with what is essentially a terrible breakup #it is the only episode Will does not appear in #and the narrative (and Hannibal) is haunted by his absence #Hannibal’s lecture at the Palazzo is all about Judas’ betrayal #Gideon’s remarks about snails wanting to eat with company #even Anthony Dimmond is a foil for Will #wherever Hannibal turns he is forced to confront Will’s absence (and his role in ensuring that absence) #Hannibal thought Bedelia could replace Will but the fact is she can’t #Bedelia sees Hannibal as an object of fascination #Will sees Hannibal as a potential lover / potential other half #this gifset compares them perfectly #Hannibal and Will are flirting over a corpse and Bedelia is nearly crying #she’s afraid (perhaps grotesquely fascinated) but primarily afraid #Will isn’t afraid he’s turned on #Will is Bluebeard’s last wife (or husband!) because Will sees what Hannibal is #and loves him because of and in spite of it #he’s the final girl; not Bedelia (src bluebeardsbride) -- source link
