Chewing in Dante - Hannibal and Dante’s Lucifer

I’ve read Dante’s Inferno recently, which made me wanna look back on the lecture on Dante Hannibal was giving in season 3 episode 1. This whole lecture had the theme of betrayal, talking about Pietro della Vigna and Judas, which is also a theme for this half of the season. At the end of the scene, he started to talk about “chewing in Dante”, but the scene ended when Anthony came in and Hannibal noticed that Bedelia left. This got me thinking about the parallels between Hannibal and Dante’s Lucifer

While Hannibal is giving the lecture in the scene, his face literally merges with the projected face of Lucifer. Of course, Hannibal could be compared with Satan for many reasons, but there are more interesting parallels with Dante’s Satan specifically. Lucifer was banished from Heaven and receives the same punishment in Hell as the rest of the sinners, being in the 9th circle reserved for traitors. He is also in the centre of Hell, being the only one in that section of the circle (apart from the three sinners he’s chewing). Forgive me for quoting Wikipedia, but “[Satan] conveys at its sharpest the ultimate and universal pain of Hell: isolation.” Dante’s Satan is a pretty weak version of Satan, and the same goes for Hannibal in Florence. He is suffering there in isolation (i.e. without Will, who is the only person that truly understood him), and even though he pretends otherwise, he has lost his former power and is a much more unstable and reckless version of himself.

The chewing reference definitely goes further with the Lucifer/Hannibal parallel. Lucifer in Inferno has three faces and each one is chewing on a famous traitor: Brutus, Cassius, and Judas. In my opinion, Bedelia and Anthony would be Brutus and Cassius, and Will would be Judas. Hannibal plans to literally eat all three of them, but he also wants to chew on them in the figurative sense of punishing them for their sins - a betrayal from his point of view. The betrayal that Bedelia and Anthony commited from Hannibal’s POV is literally just not being Will. He took Bedelia to Florence as a replacement for Will, but she doesn’t truly understand and see Hannibal, and even tries to run away at one point. Anthony definitely reminds Hannibal of Will, which makes Hannibal interested in him, but ultimately he is not and cannot be Will. Hannibal and Bedelia’s stay in Florence could compare to Lucifer’s chewing on the sinners even better - neither of them really wanted to be there, but Hannibal still had more power over Bedelia.

Then we have Will of course, that directly betrayed Hannibal, like Judas betrayed Jesus (they even had the last supper and all that). Later, when Hannibal talks with Bedelia about Will, he comes to the conclusion that the only way he can forgive Will is to eat him - literally. In season 3 episode 6, Hannibal says “Now, we both have the opportunity to chew quite literally what we’ve only chewed figuratively,”, taking the metaphor of chewing in Dante into real life. It even fits in the way that Judas is in Lucifer’s mouth with the upper body in, and Hannibal planned to eat Will’s brain.

In season 3 episode 2, we interestingly also see Will compare Hannibal to God. Therefore, Hannibal can be a metaphor for both God and Satan. Will betrayed Hannibal, for which Hannibal punished him and left him (acting like God). However, by doing that, Hannibal also banished himself to Hell (Florence) and is left isolated (like Lucifer). There, he wants to “chew on” those that dare to take Will’s place, and then also on Will himself. According to Dante, treachery is the worst sin because it’s taking advantage of love - and that’s exactly what Hannibal saw Will’s actions as.

So, I feel like one character that never gets mentioned when talking about Hannibal is Bedelia du Maurier.

She must be important- I mean she got both of the end season credit scenes. In season 3, she was shown sitting at a table with one leg cut off and cooked on the table. In season two, Bedelia was shown on the plane with Hannibal during his escape from the US. Season 1 did not have an end credit scene, but Bedelia was still present in one of the very last scenes of the season finale.

Not to mention, she is the one who said what is perhaps my favorite line from the entire show. “Can’t live with him, can’t live without him.”

But despite how present and obviously important she is, Bedelia is the one character who I have the most questions about even after the final episode. She was present enough for many of her character traits to be obvious, but her underlying emotions were never overtly revealed.

For example, she was free from Hannibal— she he escaped and he did not know where she was. So why did she return to her home, and then why did she stay when she realized Hannibal was the person in her shower?

Additionally, why cut her leg off after Hannibal had died? There’s a possibility she did not know yet that Hannibal and Will were dead, or she did not know definitively. I personally think, though, that she did. I believe that last scene was her mourning Hannibal. She offered him what she always knew he wanted from her- to eat her at a dinner, a table, set up just how he liked it from before. But why would she honor him in that way?

Maybe she is more like Will than even she is willing to admit. Maybe she liked the chase, liked feeling constantly in danger. That would also explain why she returned and left with Hannibal in the first place. Maybe it wasn’t honor. Maybe Bedelia eating her own leg was some kind of gloating, showing Hannibal that she could do what he couldn’t.

I really don’t know a lot about her, and that is one think I regret never being able to learn. She may not be my favorite character, but my curiosity over her keeps me thinking about her
