I don't know where any one gets the idea that Hannibal has some specific rules he follows. He's not Dexter.

[(Anonymous)]

People like to, uh, banal-ify him for some reason. IDGI. He's like an agent of chaos, and that's what makes him such a fun, intriguing character. The only regularity to his murders in canon is that prior to meeting Will Graham, he tended to murder in groups of three. But everything we've seen him do is spontaneous, not fixed by any motive or victim type or MO or ritual. He kills on the spur of the moment, when the opportunity arises. The people we've seen him kill for his meals (rude guy who drew his blood, for example), he seems to kill on whim depending on what he feels like eating for dinner. He doesn't follow rules, he does what he feels like.

Yep. And it seems very clear to me that he is fixated more on the eating and perhaps the mental fuckery than on an easily fixed type of victim, which is what makes him a difficult serial killer to pin down. (That is, compared to GJH and his pattern of "young brunettes", Hannibal's "rude and/or in the way" is very subjective/specific to Hannibal, and not the kind of indicators that are easily picked up by an investigator.)

ILU, anon!

this is my favourite interpretation of the character. i like the idea that he deliberately obscures any pattern or MO in order to mess with people.

[(Anonymous)]

Specific rules? No. But the books do show that Hannibal usually kills people who offend him.

Pretty much. Although it's somewhat still arbitrary or petty as to what's considered rude.
