Talk:Mischa Lecter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Motivation
I removed this line: ...igniting him an obsessive desire for revenge on all people he considered to be as base, uncouth and cowardly as the deserters. Later in life, he would cannibalize his victims as a declaration of his superiority; he would eat them with gourmet recipes and fine wines as a way of saying he was better than Mischa's murderers, who had crudely slaughtered her and roasted her over a spit. Where has it ever been stated that Hannibal's gourmet cannibalism is in defiance of the crude way the deserters did it? I don't doubt that Mischa's cannibalism led to Hannibal's, but Harris never specifically explained this was why Hannibal does what he does. My suggestion is to wait until Hannibal Rising clears it up hopefully, and if Harris uses the same schtick, we can repost it.--CyberGhostface 04:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Other than the cook telling him the cheeks are the best part of meat from any game, there is really no direct cause for his cannibalism stated in Rising. Even then, there's mention of him taking a chunk out of Grutas when they were taking Mischa away in the first place. The best anyone could infer is that he developed a taste for human meat from being fed the boys that were kept in the barn and Mischa, but even then it's original research, vice anything explicitly stated in the collected works. 140.185.215.122 17:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Steve
[edit] Possible difference between book and film of Hannibal Rising
From watching the film, I wasn't aware that three years had passed between the Lecters seeking refuge in the lodge and the parents' deaths. Mischa would then be five or six years old at the time of her death, at least in the book, but looks only about three in the film. AndreasKQ 19:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, but how old she looks isn't how old she is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dr. Hannibal Lecter (talk • contribs) 20:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
- Agree, but it also states originally in Hannibal that she was 4, and then it was changed to 6 in Rising. Mischa was six in the book when she died, because she was almost three when they left for the lodge three years eariler. --Majinvegeta 19:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Really? I don't remember her being four in the book...thank you for pointing that out, Majinvegeta. Dr. Hannibal Lecter 05:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- I actually had to go back in the book, as I couldn't figure out how she was still two when Hannibal had aged as much as he had. I have afriend that insists Rising was ghost written, and bases the many inconsistencies and less detail in the writing as his proof. 140.185.215.122 17:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Steve

[edit] Merge?
I was thinking about merging this article into either Hannibal Lecter's article or the one about Hannibal Rising. Granted Mischa's important to an extent, but there's simply not enough information on her to warrant an article, There's absolutely no out-of-universe info for her. And the biggest problem is that most of this information in here simply references the connection to Hannibal's behavior, so it's not really about her anyway. What do you guys think? --VorangorTheDemon 21:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
