Bedelia is an unpleasant person. The only reason she’s digestible to the audience is because she effects and is affected by Hannibal and Will. If she was present in any other context, with any other person—say if she lived in Alana’s world in season one. Say they were colleagues, she wouldn’t fit. Hannibal and Will make her fit because they’re imaginative. I’m truth, someone innocent would find her disgusting and horrible.
