Long-Answer Response
1. As Hannibal notes, the categorization of people based on behavior is an imperfect science. He is both frustrated with and pleased by the FBI’s attempts to categorize criminal behavior; while he is annoyed by what he views as intellectual shortcomings, he is also confident that the FBI’s limited view of this will also enable his escape (Chapter 23). Hannibal cannot be categorized by one label that encompasses his influences and aspirations; his capacity for evil is much greater than what one diagnosis can show.
2. Generally speaking, we understand butterflies to signify beauty and transformation in literature, an encouraging reminder that there can be a happy or aesthetically pleasing ending to a difficult scenario. Within this text, the moth stands as a foil to the butterfly, symbolizing not carefree beauty but rather the constant threat of a predator.
