The aim of this contribution is analyse how the relationship occurring between Hannibal Lecter and William Graham in the NBC series Hannibal (2013-2015) is developed in terms of body and mind desire. We can discuss their relationship as something filled by homoerotic hints, but it is not simply as it seems. Will Graham and Hannibal are not homosexuals (or bisexuals, since they have relations with women), but it is clear that their relation involves an intense physical and mental attraction.
First I will analyse the particular deep and perverse way of venerating bodies that Hannibal shows during the series in order to highlight the difference with his behaviour with Will. For Hannibal the entire process of hitting, dissecting, cooking and eating
