Intro.

Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "The Devil, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing." In the movie Silence of the Lambs directed by Jonathan Demme, ex-psychiatrist Hannibal, the Cannibal, Lector acts as a poise gentleman to FBI agent Clarisse Starling. With his psychiatric background, Hannibal helps Clarisse both with her childhood past and tracking down the psycho serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Clarisse and Hannibal share a relationship of mutual respect; Clarisse admires Hannibal's intelligence, while Hannibal admires her courage. However Hannibal's does not help Clarisse more than he needs to in solving the man hunt.
