powers of conviction. Overemphasis, obvious glibness, and other traditional signs of the clever liar do not usually show in his words or in his manner.
From the explanation above, can be concluded that the untruthfulness and insincerity are figured out by how Hannibal does many lies without feeling guilty.
His lie can not be identified because for him lying is as easy matter and it is natural as breathing. He is so good at lying so can fool psychiatrists, police, and even
polygraphs. The most important to know that he can lie anyone and can not be found out. From the explanation above, Hannibal Lecter is untruthful and insincere person

4.1.4 Inadequately Motivated Antisocial Behavior
Hannibal Lecter is found out by Russian soldiers in the woods on winter with a chain locked around his neck. He is pale and thin so he is brought to Lecter castle, his
house which has been made as orphanage. Hannibal was thirteen years old at that time and was an orphan. In the orphanage he does not like to have relationship with his
friends. Children call him as a deaf but he just keeps silent. He does not want to respond those children. He does not feel sad when he gets sentence so he can not play with other
orphans in the orphanage. He estranges himself by giving some treat to other children so children avoid him.
Hannibal can be dangerous to person larger than himself. He’s fine with the little ones. Lets them tease him a little. Some of them think he’s deaf
as well as mute and say in front him that he’s crazy. He gives his treats, on the rare occasions there are any treats.
Harris, 2006: 75-76

with others. He is destructive and there is no motivation to have relationship with others in the society. By doing destructive behaviors, people will automatically avoid
contact with him and he does not mind about that because he is antisocial person. Their lack of empathy for other people extends onto society and the environment.
Vandalism, pollution, graffiti, animal abuse, environmental destruction, building code violations, reckless driving, and a host of morally and socially unacceptable
activities are of no concern to the psychopath. Clekcley 1941: 343 said that psychopath did socially destructive actions
such as cheating, lying, annoying, and also brawling. His antisocial and self- defeating deeds were not circumscribed by the society. He showed little or no
evidence of the conscious conflict or the subsequent regret that was not regularly absented in these other manifestations.
Hannibal’s lack of empathy for other people extends onto society and the environment. Vandalism, pollution, graffiti, animal abuse, environmental destruction,
building code violations, reckless driving, and a host of morally and socially unacceptable activities are behaviors that refer to the characteristic of anti social
psychopath. Psychopath such Hannibal can not open his mind to accept people because he thinks that others are imperfect to be loved by him. He just feels that
being alone is better than having relationship with people who can not fulfill what he wants and inadequately motivated antisocial behavior is very essence characteristic
of psychopath.
