In the novel's ending, Clarice Starling joins Dr. Hannibal Lecter in dining on Paul Krendler's brain, and accepts his desire for them to become lovers. The novel also reveals that Lithuanian Hannibal's cannibalism stems from his childhood trauma of seeing his sister murdered and eaten by starving Nazis. Producer and director Sir Ridley Scott admitted that he didn't like the psychological explanation of Hannibal's actions and rejected it from the script. Hannibal's childhood experiences became the basis for Hannibal Lecter - Le origini del male (2007).
