When people or a population are fearful—whether that be induced by a political entity or otherwise—this personal barrier, often called the barrier of fear, the start of demonstrations, and the collapse of fear, functions as an intangible obstacle between inaction and action. The Middle East has historically…

Hannibal uses symbols to give the series a deeper more complex meaning.
