Abstract
This paper analyses the character of a serial killer in Thomas Harris’s novels on the example of the cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter. The aim is to shed light on the personal characteristics of serial killers pointing to the conclusion that rather than being born as serial killers, they are made that way due to unfavourable circumstances, such as trauma. However, many serial killers suffer from some sort of psychological disorder and are proclaimed psychopaths or sociopaths, which is why many believe that they are born as killers. The main focus of this paper is the life, personality, modus operandi, and psychology of Hannibal Lecter – a successful psychiatrist who became a cannibal and a serial killer. The trauma Hannibal endures as a child plays a significant role in his psychological development, and it is the source of his cannibalistic tendencies. The paper will also show that the strange attraction that such characters hold over massive audiences arises from their ambiguous identity formed (or perceived) at the intersection of the human and the monstrous.
