if you think about it, will’s tendency to call things that are morally wrong “ugly” instead of bad or unethical or any other synonym, is him already subscribing to hannibal’s philosophy of “ethics being aesthetics” before hannibal even influenced him in that direction. hannibal just changed it from “ugly” to “beautiful”.
ALSO WHEN HE SAID KILLING WAS THE UGLIEST THING IN THE WORLD THE STAGE DIRECTION SAID SOMETHING LIKE, HANNIBAL KNEW HE WASN’T TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND ALSO HE REFERRED TO THE RIPPER KILLINGS AS ART ON HIS OWN
