Freddy Lounds
Freddy Lounds (or Fredricka "Freddie" Lounds) is a fictional character in the Hannibal Lecter series, created by author Thomas Harris. Lounds first appears in the 1981 novel ''Red Dragon'' as a foil to protagonist Will Graham who is ultimately murdered by primary antagonist Francis Dolarhyde.
==Character overview==
Harris describes Lounds as "lumpy and ugly and small", with "buck teeth", and whose "rat eyes had the sheen of spit on asphalt".〔Thomas Harris, ''Red Dragon'' (1981), p. 147-148.〕 Harris describes Lounds as having "the longing need to be noticed that is often miscalled ego",〔 sharpened by frustrated ambition:
Resentful of this treatment, Lounds goes into tabloid journalism, receiving much higher pay and better treatment for writing popular but factually questionable news stories.〔 Lounds has been characterized by reviewers as a film noir throwback:
Lounds is also said to represent "the vulgarian who does not believe in anything except his own career; he does not understand the idealistic insanity of Dolarhyde or Lecter or the idealistic sanity of Graham".〔Robert H. Waugh, "The Butterfly and the Beast: The Imprisoned Soul in Thomas Harris's Lecter Trilogy", in Benjamin Szumskyj, ed., ''Dissecting Hannibal Lecter: Essays on the Novels of Thomas Harris'' (2008), p. 71, isbn=0786432756.〕 The death of Lounds is reflected as a consequence of his having only "a modicum of understanding" of people with desires unlike his own.〔 As a tabloid photographer, it is also through Lounds that Harris "introduces a theme important to the three novels, the use of film and various optical apparatus to spy upon victims, because the antagonists of the novels need distance".〔 Through photojournalism, Lounds publicly highlights Graham's role in the investigation, thereby making Graham himself a target of the killer,〔Philip L. Simpson, ''Psycho Paths: Tracking the Serial Killer Through Contemporary American Film and Fiction'' (2000), p. 102, isbn=080932329X.〕〔Mark E. Wildermuth, ''Blood in the Moonlight: Michael Mann and Information Age Cinema'' (2005), p. 99-100.〕 and also conveying to Graham's wife and stepson the dangerous world in which he has involved himself.〔
