Talk:Red Dragon (novel)

message: I've just read the book, and the plot section here seems to be of the movie and not of the novel. i.e. Graham never got the last letter from Lecter, Crawford intercepted and incinerated it; they didn't recover the Dragon's scapbook from the fire, but from a locker and Graham didn't read it, Crawford told him they found it when Graham was at the hospital; etc. --201.243.238.49 (talk) 20:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

message: After the statement that the Silence of the Lambs story is a reworking of Red Dragon's is inserted "citation needed." Why? The section goes on to describe in detail the characters and major plot points that are parallel between the two stories.

message: "Thomas Harris’ own The Silence of the Lambs is itself a reworking of this story[citation needed]: Both stories feature a not quite full-fledged FBI agent in pursuit of a serial killer. Both serial killers have a strong self-loathing and kill to facilitate a “transformation” into something they feel is more powerful than their current state. Both protagonists must visit Lecter several times to gain enough insight to catch the killer."- Will Graham does not "visit Lecter several times" in the novel he actually only meets with him on one occasion--The Dominator (talk) 00:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The Theme analysis for this article is excellent, but it might be worth including a comparison between Graham and Starling's character. I recall reading a section examing Lector's relationship with the two (e.g. talking with Graham as an equal, while treating Starling as a student), but it is no longer there. --134.159.97.130 (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does the first sentence of this article say that it features Hannibal Lector when he is only a minor character in this novel?  12.216.166.246 (talk) 00:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It still features him, and he does play a fairly significant role.--CyberGhostface (talk) 03:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I guess that it depends on your definition of feature. Lecter is not as central to the story as he is in SOTL, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising, but he does play an important role. My copy of the book has the cover line "Meet Hannibal Lecter for the first time" and Harris included an intro that explains how the Hannibal Lecter character was developed. 47.137.178.203 (talk) 05:50, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lector vs Lecter 

message: Serious question, why is everyone in this article referred to by their last name and McClane is called Reba? Is this normal? I think the naming should be consistent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Browncoat101 (talk • contribs) 03:29, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. All subsequent reference to "Reba" have been changed to "McClane". 47.137.178.203 (talk) 05:57, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
