Hannibal begins with a catastrophic shootout at a fish market. How does this catastrophe—and Starling's role in the catastrophe—foreshadow later events in the plot?
Why is Hannibal Lecter particularly drawn to Clarice Starling? Does she simply remind him of his sister, or is there something else to his interest?
Why are Lecter's tastes so important in distinguishing him from everyone else around him? What purpose does his refined taste serve in how the novel characterizes him?
