It is also very popular in our country. This book was published in June 1999, and it has been firmly at the top of the best-seller list since it was published. Although this book is inherited, the story is basically independent, and readers who have not read it can also read it smoothly.

This book describes the story of Starling, a female agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, because of her outstanding military achievements, distinguishing right from wrong, arousing envy, and being framed again and again, she finally left her loyal and dedicated career and became the lover of the mentally ill murderer she was following. .The plot is extremely tortuous, full of suspense, ups and downs, turbulent, and very fascinating. 1 The novel exposes the shady scenes of the FBI, the Ministry of Justice, the Italian Police and academia with a large number of vivid and credible plots: such as money worship, power manipulation, mutual protection by officials, and framing of innocents, etc.By describing a plutocrat, a few bureaucrats, a few gangsters and their evil deeds, the author focuses on exposing the power of money and its temptation and distortion to people, allowing readers to see various serious diseases in the social systems of the United States and Italy. disease.

Almost all the action in the book is directed by one person: Mason Verger, a big plutocrat. Mason Verger's father, Verger Sr., was an out-and-out vampire who made his fortune in hog trading and became a tycoon in the meat processing industry.He controlled the enterprise by buying powerful people and underworld forces, and bloody squeezed the workers, and no one could oppose it.The working conditions in the factory were harsh, and someone came forward to organize a labor union to try to improve the working conditions, and suddenly it became "pure lard" and sold it to bakeries to make pastries.

His son, Mason Verger, was a rascal as well as a vicious one. Mason Verger broke the law and was ordered by the court to see Dr. Lecter, a psychoanalyst.He invited the doctor to his home, intending to use a strange method to pull the doctor into the water and control him for his own use.The doctor saw through his trick, and used hypnotism to induce him to cut off the meat of his face and feed it to the dogs, and even ate his own nose.Fortunately, his father was a big chaebol who spared no expense to save his life, but he has become disabled.For this reason, his family added an annex building specially for him, and took full care of him 24 hours a day.He breathes and speaks entirely by a machine.

But this living dead mind is still active.After he was injured, Dr. Lecter was sent to a criminal mental hospital. Eight years later, he escaped during the transfer and his whereabouts are unknown.Mason hated him deeply, and offered huge rewards all over the world to hunt him down.After he was convinced that Dr. Lecter was in Florence, he immediately used the money-driven local police detectives and mobilized a gang of kidnappers to form a powerful encirclement, intending to capture him and transport him to Sardinia, where he would be fed alive to pigs , and took a video and sent it to the United States for him to watch and relieve his hatred.But his plan failed, the police chief detective Patsy and a kidnapper were killed by Dr. Lecter, but Dr. Lecter escaped.

The second round in the pursuit of Dr. Lecter took place in the United States.His men finally captured Dr. Lecter and took him to his manor. Unexpectedly, they were seen by Starling, a suspended FBI agent, when they arrested him.They were about to enjoy a pig cannibalism show when Starling burst in.After a scuffle, Dr. Lecter carried the injured Starling and escaped, but Mason himself was killed by his own sister Margo. Mason Verger is so nasty, vile, murderous, and absurd.But he used the guise of charity to the outside world, pretending to love children, and let the children come to his farm to ride horses and play games.At this time, he took time to frighten the children with terrible words, tormenting their young hearts, and asked people to collect their tears and mix them with wine to drink when they were crying.

The two generations and three members of the Verges family are bloody and vicious, but such people happen to have the power to dominate society in the United States. What a heavy reality this is! 2 There are three levels of people running under Mason's money magic.One is an executioner like Carlo, one is a middle-level official like Pazzi, and the other is a high-ranking official like Krendler. Carlo is a kidnapper and brothel owner. He is strong, savage, brutal and willing to do any bad things to make money.After taking the hostages, he recorded their wailing and demanded ransom from their families.

After taking orders from Mason, he organized the roundup of Dr. Lecter in Florence, but Dr. Lecter killed two people and escaped.Then, in order to avoid leaking the secret, he obeyed Mason's order and sent the two people who had been sent to film the scene of pigs eating people into the pigsty and fed the pigs.He is such a cold-blooded person. After the second contest in the United States, he finally caught Dr. Lecter, but was rushed by Starling, handcuffed him and his accomplices to the ground, unable to move, and was finally eaten by his carefully trained pigs.The money, he got, was a pension.

Pazzi was the Chief Detective of the Florence Police Department, and he was also a capable policeman.According to common sense, with the strength of his chief detective, he only needs to bring a few police officers to the door and check Dr. Lecter's fake certificate to arrest him and bring him to justice.But he covets Mason's astronomical bounty, and he doesn't want to turn the chance of getting rich into a business, and let the wealth that can be obtained slip away.So he decided to betray Dr. Lecter.In this way, he abandoned the powerful state apparatus and became a "lonely profit seeker", thus losing his life - he probably did not expect that "weak scholar" to be so fierce.

His first bout with Dr. Lecter was to take his fingerprints and prove to Mason that the man he suspected was indeed Dr. Lecter.He used his authority to extract Romula, a Gypsy woman, from the women's prison and let her steal it, but failed.He then threatened to take Romula's baby away, telling Romula to tell her lover Gnocchi to do it.Gnocchi took great risks to obtain fingerprints, but Dr. Lecter cut the femoral artery.The insidious Pazzi saw the fingerprints in his hand, but he didn't save the gnocchi bleeding profusely, so that he bleeds to death, which not only killed the mouth but also reduced the cost.Then he arranged for Romula and her cousin to take the baby away to Australia, and lied that Gnocchi would arrive later, and killed him in another way.In this way, for a fingerprint, he killed a person, and also deceived two women and a baby into exile in a foreign country.

After the fingerprint identification confirmed that the man was really Dr. Lecter, Mason arranged for Patsy to meet with the leader of the kidnappers, Carlo, and a policeman and gangster came to cooperate to arrest Dr. Lecter. However, Dr. Lecter is not easy to deal with.He had already seen Pazzi's intentions, arranged a trap for him, and then gave him a surprise attack, anesthetized him, and threw him out of a high-rise window. In this way, Pazzi repeatedly committed vicious and shameless acts for money, and finally ruined his own life. Krendler is the Assistant Deputy Inspector General of the Department of Justice. He is a hot figure, but he runs under Mason's door because he wants to get 5 million campaign funds from him and climb to the throne of Congressman.Apart from the element of his shallow nature; most of his crimes come from chasing the five million. The man in charge of the legal scales hated the little agent Starling for three reasons: First, Starling killed the serial murderer Jaime Gumm, which made Krendler lose face.It turned out that in order to curry favor with Senator Ruth Martin, Krendler once got Dr. Lecter out of the heavily guarded ward, and wanted to directly obtain information on the rescue of Ruth Martin's daughter, but asked Dr. Lecter to take the opportunity to kill her. The dead police officer escaped, which caused an uproar in public opinion.At the same time, Starling went deep into the tiger's den, killed a series of murderers, and rescued Senator Martin's daughter.The comparison of the two shamed him so much that he became angry with embarrassment and hated Starling (see above).Secondly, he once invited the beautiful Starling to go out to play with him. Actually, he had bad intentions, but Starling sternly refused.As the book says, "His nature was to admire Starling's thighs and break her tendons."He couldn't get what he wanted, so he gave her small shoes to wear, and got some kind of perverted satisfaction from it.The third and most important thing is that he is cooperating with Mason to hunt down Dr. Lecter. If the cooperation is successful, he can get the 5 million promised by Mason, and then become a member of Congress.However, Starling established a set of methods to track Dr. Lecter. Once Starling succeeds, Krendler's 5 million yuan will be ruined, and the congressman's dream will also be blown.So he had to take away Starling's right to work so she couldn't hold on.What's more, Mason decided to use torture Starling as bait to lure Dr. Lecter to surface. So under Krendler's manipulation, ignoring the obvious facts and Starling's military exploits, she was suspended.He did it cunningly, using the hour before the FBI's 90th anniversary meeting to rush through the suspension.In order to remove obstacles, he first excluded Starling's direct chieftain, Crawford, who knew the situation best, from the meeting, and then deceived those bureaucrats who did not understand the situation, hastily passed his proposal, and Starling was dismissed and armed , Immediately afterwards, reporters were arranged to interview and spread the news to the society.Within a few days of Starling's suspension, rumors were already circulating in the media that she was "accused of leaking national security secrets." However, Starling's suspension did not give Krendler a chance to catch Dr. Lecter. Instead, Starling, a very accomplished agent of the FBI, was given to Dr. Lecter.At the same time, the scuffle at the farm cost the life of his backstage boss, Mason.So his 5 million fell through.Without a benefactor, it would be difficult to realize his dream of becoming a member of the council. If the kidnapper Carlo is a wild boar in the author's writing, then Krendler is a coyote.The author has described his image many times, saying that when he looked at Starling, he was "like a coyote peeping at the favorite sheep among the sheep"; Sniffed her out"; said "Starling could see his round ears when she faced him". Coyotes are somewhat like wolves, but they are ferocious but not as tough as wolves. Coyotes are ugly and cowardly, cowards who follow ferocious beasts to pick up leftovers.Krendler was such a wretch, but he was able to move freely in that society. The Chinese poet Bei Dao has a famous saying, "Meanness is the passport of the mean". 3 Starling was given to Dr. Lecter by Krendler and the FBI bureaucrats.In her 8-year career as an agent, she had a bright spot, and she performed outstandingly every time, but every time it brought her misfortune. For the first time, she single-handedly went deep into the tiger's den, killed the murderer James, Garm, and rescued the hostages.This paragraph takes place in .But that glorious victory offended Krendler, leaving Starling on the bench for 7 years, and did not give her any chance to display her talents for 7 years. The second time she was seconded to participate in an anti-drug raid.The raid failed due to a serious leak.As soon as the assault team arrived at the drug production site, the female drug lord had already received the information and brought people to break out, and her accomplice's car also came to meet him.The strangest thing is that even the TV station has heard the news and sent a helicopter to interview the news. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the female poisonous fruit and the car that responded to the drug lord shot and killed two police officers. Starling was also shot and hit the body armor without injury.Starling fired several shots, killed four gangsters, turned the situation around, and tried to force the female drug lord who was holding the baby to surrender, but the female drug lord used the baby as a cover to shoot, and the bullet passed through Starling's ear; Starling also Shots were fired, killing the drug lord, ending the fight and rescuing the drug lord's baby. This was Starling's second glorious moment. She killed four gangsters and killed the female drug lord.However, the media seized on the fact that the female drug lord who was killed was holding a baby in her arms, creating public opinion, saying that Starling was the killing machine of the FBI, and put pressure on the FBI. The strange thing is that after the incident, the relevant leaders did not investigate the cause of the leak and thoroughly investigate the responsibility, but were intimidated by the aggressive media and thought that the situation of public opinion was dangerous, so they decided to throw Starling out as a scapegoat to appease the "popular indignation".For this reason, the director of the FBI personally interviewed Crawford, who had always been concerned about Starling, and ordered him to accept this treatment, and explained that this was what Krendler meant.Although this time, the matter was temporarily suppressed due to the interests of all parties, but in the end, in order to use Starling as a bait to capture Lecter, Mason and Krendler conspired to trick her into leaking secrets to criminals, so she was dismissed from her post and armed. Despite being unfairly treated many times and disarmed, Starling still refused to relinquish her duty.She accidentally discovered that Dr. Lecter was kidnapped while shopping, and immediately reported to the leader by phone, but she was not trusted.Fearing that Dr. Lecter would be tortured illegally, she immediately took out her weapon and followed Mason Verger's farm.There, she happened to break through the live drama of feeding people to pigs, and rescued Dr. Lecter who was about to be lynched. However, she was shot twice with an anesthesia gun and was rescued by Dr. Lecter, who she was chasing. This incident can best show Starling's strong, brave, and righteous character, and it should be regarded as her most glorious performance.But she is now homeless.Because as soon as she shows up, the phone call she made to her superior and the pistol she lost in Mason's farm will become irrefutable evidence that she is with Dr. Lecter; and the responsibility for the death of five people in the farm will be held to her head.What's more, the existence of Krendler told her that it was impossible to get a fair chance to appeal.At this time, Dr. Lecter became her savior.He healed her wound meticulously, unlocked the psychological complex in her subconscious, and inspired her view of life from a new perspective.Then her long-sleeping womanhood awakened.In South America, she has become the lover of Dr. Lecter, whom she is hunting. The author emphasizes one point on Starling's character: the painful impression she had when she saw slaughtered animals at her adoptive parents' house when she was a child.She secretly left the pasture of her adoptive parents because she couldn't bear the whining of the animals.The sympathy for Xing Xiaozhe has since become her subconscious complex and the motivation for her to enter the FBI to handle the case with her life.She risked her life to hunt down the serial murderer Jaime Gumm, but she just couldn't bear the hostage's tragic death.She broke into Mason's farm alone because she didn't want Dr. Lecter to be lynched.The pain of the lamb has always been the driving force that urges her to do her job. Readers may have different opinions on her last change, but one thing is certain: she was forced to this path by the corruption and persecution of the FBI.The strong, brave, righteous Starling can be said to have been strangled by the decadent system. If Carlo is a boar and Krendler is a coyote, then Dr. Lecter is a jaguar.He is sensitive, alert, vigorous, ferocious, and has a memory beyond ordinary people. His madness was caused by a severe psychological disorder, due to a very traumatic encounter in childhood. His father was a Lithuanian baron and his mother came from an Italian viscount family. In 1944, the artillery fire of World War II destroyed his father's farm, and both parents died in the artillery fire.He and his little sister were arrested and locked up by a group of broken soldiers who spoke various languages.It was winter at that time, and the group of people had no food. They first caught a young deer that had been shot by an arrow, hacked it to death with an ax and ate it. Captured his two-year-old sister Misha.Misha was also killed with an ax like the deer. This tragic experience formed a scar in his young heart, and formed a stubborn psychological complex in his subconscious, which made him suffer repeatedly throughout his life.He always dreamed of Misha's resurrection, and reacted queerly to whatever aroused the association.He studied Hawking's theory, thought hard, and wanted to solve a series of calculation problems, reverse time, recover the broken teacup, and revive Misha.He sympathized with the abused women, sympathized with Starling, and wrote her letters repeatedly to encourage her; he sympathized with Margo, who suggested that Margo kill Mason from the perspective of psychotherapy, and later took the initiative to bear the responsibility for her killing Mason. responsibility.When he played the clavichord, he often fell into the memory of the past, so he howled miserably for no reason. The most bewildering episode of the book is Dr. Lecter's psychotherapy of Starling. After Starling was injured by smelling into Mason's farm to rescue Dr. Lecter, Dr. Lecter rescued her, treated her pathologically, and also performed psychotherapy. The first step in psychotherapy was to use a long time to induce Starling to talk about herself and express her inner depression (probably under hypnosis), including emotions that had not been realized for a long time.Complaints about her father's death, for example, which caused Mama and her to endure unbearable poverty and humiliation.But this complaint was impossible for her to realize or admit when she was awake, but it existed in her subconscious for a long time. Dr. Lecter gets to the bottom of her psychological crux: her nostalgia for her father.She has an Electra complex, and her father is a model and role model in her heart. This feeling makes her unable to accept Brigham's pursuit of her, because Brigham is as dedicated as her father, and Brigham Tom's love made her subconsciously feel guilty about incest. She has always been loyal to her duty, because she has her father's attention subconsciously.She has already obtained a degree in psychology and criminology from the university, but she still comes to the FBI to train as a special agent. The subconscious motivation is still her father: she wants to fulfill his father's last wish, protect goodness, and fight crime.After she was wronged, the greatest pain in her subconscious was to feel sorry for her father.What is in the subconscious mind cannot be resolved at the conscious level.Now the Starling complex is unraveled.She can understand Crawford's words, "They treat you like a rag that they throw away after wiping their hands, just to save a few ATF bureaucrats"; she can understand Dr. Lecter's inspiration to her Question asked: "Is the Shining Commonwealth cause your cause or theirs?" In this way, a subconscious complex in Starling was untied.Emotionally, she no longer missed her post and gave up the vows she had made, which fundamentally reversed one of her deep feelings psychologically. Dr. Lecter then gave Starling a second treatment.He devised a punishment for Krendler to solve another Starling complex: the long-standing hatred of Krendler.She healed suddenly and became another Starling, a woman in need of love.She has changed. Dr. Lecter seems mysterious, but it's also simple.He is a fantasy character created by the author to fight against the irresistible state apparatus and money forces.His knowledge, intelligence, cunning, composure, and strength are all weapons for that fantasy character.Through him the reader finds a satisfaction in triumphing over a mighty evil.Strangely enough, although he is a madman and a devil, his overall impression on the reader is lovable, even righteous, compared with Krendler, Patsy and Demlin, Margo, these sanctimonious officials, experts, etc. , Philanthropists do not know how many times better. Carlo, Patsy and Krendler are all Mason's Hellhawk dogs, and they represent the strength of the three systems of gangsters, police and justice respectively.Mason mobilized such a powerful force to encircle Dr. Lecter, but Dr. Lecter was not only able to get away with it, but also took away an excellent agent of the federal government. This is probably a satire of the author on the American police, special agents, and judicial system. A denial of the omnipotence of money, albeit illusory. The description perspective of this book is unique. From the perspective of Freudian psychoanalysis, it explores the human spiritual world, the formation and change of character, and spyes on the behavior of characters from the subconscious and conscious, the complex expressions of id, ego and superego. There are few things worthy of our chewing and learning.But the author also seems to have mystified psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, and many places have a supernatural or even absurd color.
