Well I wanna talk about something which is criminally underrated and literally no one talks about it which is Will's Corruption Arc and it's execution throughout the 3 seasons and will discuss his character's evolution. So in my opinion , a corruption arc is when a character breaks all of his/her chains of morality and pursuit the path of his desire so , in other words its a character study/transformation with a focus on morality. People who strictly restrict their desires , eventhough they are black at the core but they dont show any action related to it as they dont want their morality to be questioned And executing a corruption arc on any character is a damn hard job Because totally turning a character 180 degree could go wrong in a lot of ways For example Daenerys' corruption arc Which was going great initially but they couldnt execute it properly further And talking about the corruption arc, The most perfectly executed corruption is of Will Graham. So a corruption arc consists of : 1. Conflicted : we can see Will struggling with his ability to empathize with serial killers and he was conflicted if he is also turning into a serial killer and because of this he was having mental health issues 2. Fear Based Choice : when Will killed Garret Jacob Hobbs in order to save Abigail and then he was haunted by the fact that he destroyed Abigail's whole life and after that he was literally haunted by Garrett Jacob Hobb which made his mental stability even worse 3. Game Changer : alot of moments can be considered to be the game changing moment like when he realized that it was hannibal all along or when he was planing to take out hannibal but imo the actual game changing moment is the moment when Hannibal gutted him because he was torn between his morality and hannibal , more like heaven and hell But when Hannibal found out that Will was planing to take him down And as hannibal being a sociopath he punished Will for breaking his trust and then killed Abigail for punishing Will further But he couldnt do it as those two were the only humans he was emotionally attached too And if Will wouldnt have betrayed Hannibal ,they (Hannibal , Will , Abigail) wouldve been on a path for a new life and Hannibal was hiding Abigail to present it as a "gift" to Will , which he "DIDNT TAKE" 4. Acceptance of Lie : so after Mizumono Will was still in constant doubt about where his heart lies irrespective of his mind and the whole S3 is about this confrontation and S3 could also be viewed as the a character study of Will Graham going rogue against his morals And Will was under constant questioning about where his loyalty lies and then comes the finale and interestingly Will still didnt know where he lies As when Francis shot Hannibal and was telling him that he was going to film Hannibal's death , you can see Will sipping alcohol very casually because he was restricting his emotions and u can see that he was acting to not care about him but then he couldnt pretend anymore and he let his core intentions win and then they both started fighting Francis knowing that they are not fighting for themselves but are fighting for each other and arent afraid of dying . 5. Tragic End : after fighting and killing Francis , when they both were holding each other and hannibal says "This is all i ever wanted for you Will" And then Will says "Its beautiful" Which means Will has finally chosen his side which lies towards Hannibal But then comes a satisfactory moment when Will jumps off the cliff with Hannibal and destroyed the inner him who dont want to be emotionally tilted towards hannibal and metaphorically killed that other half of him by jumping off that cliff Just to see if they both are chosen by fate and in the end they both survived which means they both were definitely chosen by fate And in the final shot we can see Bedelia Sitting on a chair and a largr piece of meat lying on the table and then a shot showed us that she is missing one of her leg and then u realize that its her leg on the table And then a wide shot showed us that there are 2 more chairs Which solidified that Will and Hannibal survived that fall and are gonna enjoy a piece of "meat" because one half of Will has died and now what we see is Will's dark side without any morality and now he is Hannibal is a part of Will as much as Will is a part of Hannibal. "Stay with me , Will" "Where else would i go"
