 DOCTOR HANNIBAL LECTER
Since Doctor Hannibal Lecter operates upon rational standards, and does so quite explicitly to Clarice Starling and then politely listens to Clarice Starling at the end of HANNIBAL as she does the same for him, that he can rationally communicate to others, then such 'archtyping' is completely inappropriate.
Lecter has just delivered a seminal lecture, he projects a slide showing the execution of one of Pazzi's ancestor's, and as he does so he advances on Pazzi.
In undoing this Lecter frees her and the way is open for her to leave the neurotic attachment to the police and begin romance with Lecter.

 Hannibal Lecter and Thomas Harris - A Review
Unfortunately, for me, Lecter is indistinguishable from the Anthony Hopkins persona (from "Silence of the Lambs", the movie), which I suspect is a factor that has also affected Harris during the writing of "Hannibal".
In "Hannibal" however, he now has a background which tries to partly explain to us why he is what he is - this gets our sympathy (I was actually rooting for him at the end) and that is probably the ultimate failure of "Hannibal".
Lecter, in "Hannibal" almost inspires us to want to be like him with his finer tastes - this characterization completely overshadows his dark persona, which was the captivating feature in the first two books.

 Hannibal : film review
Ten years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) escaped from custody, ten years since Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore, replacing Jodie Foster) interviewed him in a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane in the hope that he could help her catch the serial killer known as Buffalo Bill.
Lecter is now at large in Italy, gloriously at liberty in an unguarded world.
With his cover blown and his bloodlust rekindled, Lecter decides that he needs "some action" and travels back to America, not only to take care of Verger once and for all, but also to take care of those who are giving Clarice a hard time, ahem, their just deserts as well.

 Hannibal Lecter vs. Jeffrey Dahmer @ WWWF Grudge Match
Hannibal would just proceed, possibly humming a few bars of his favorite opera, like the culinary artist that he is and produce a masterpiece, the hands down winner.
Lecter would be saying things like "I'll cook this rump roast if you tell me about your father" when all the while Dahmer is furiously preparing his liver and onions to impress the young boys in the audience.
Although Lecter will be intellectually insulted to be put into such a spotlight, the genius in him won't be able to resist the challenge of producing a meal worthy of being served at Tavern on the Spleen.

 The Hannibal Lecter Trilogy - Movie Review
The "Hannibal Lecter Trilogy" is made up of three films: "Red Dragon", "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal".
"Hannibal" is the weakest of the three, but is still a better-than-average film and has the highest production values of all the films.
Lecter has become the serial killer that all film serial killers aspire to emulate, and watching all three films together serves to demonstrate how the legend was created.

Hannibal, we learnA"we" because Harris seduces reader complicity with third-person-plural narrationAis not as we presumed.
Hannibal may be mad, but in this brilliant, bizarre, absurd novelAas in the public eyeAhe is also hero; and so, at novel's end, in flest humor, Harris bestows upon him a hero's rewards, outrageously, mockingly.
The plot is ludicrous and absurd, the writing is sloppy and demented (why the heck does Harris change tenses with every freakin' paragraph?), new characters are bizarre and unpleasant, there is far too much gore, and worst of all, old characters from SOTL are transformed into flat caricatures of their previous selves.

Behind bars, Lecter was a charged, but compelling, presence--an enigma who promised to be a key to psychopathic crime if only someone were genius enough to understand him.
"Dr. Hannibal Lecter's fingerprint card is a curiosity and something of a cult object": Harris is the one who knows, who has "been there", and takes his readers into Lecter's world of curious courtesy and exquisite taste, sickening cruelty and loving murder.
HANNIBAL is beautifully written, and Harris continues to conjure with some heady ideas, and only suffers in comparison to Harris's earlier work.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Hannibal"
You'd think that any writer who invents a character like Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant and erudite psychiatrist who also happens to be a mass-murdering cannibal, would be willing to admit that he's out to administer cheesy, ghoulish shocks.
No longer a villain, Lecter is now the hero, the superior being given the power of judgment over all the other characters -- the serial killer as arbiter of taste.
Lecter, says Clarice, eats people "to show his contempt for those who exasperate him." In "Hannibal," Lecter is lucky enough to find a director who, like him, looks at humanity and sees a banquet of corruption.
