This is the kind of friendship that Gilgamesh and Enkidu, or Achilles and Hector, could have had (even though they didn’t become friends in life, Achilles certainly respected Hector in death). Friendship is about striving, and becoming better—which makes friendship, for Nietzsche, largely a matter of self-interest.

Nietzsche and Aristotle actually share a great deal in their thoughts on friendship—they both view it as an essential part of the best life, and they both view the relationship between friends as one of shared interests. The difference, or at least one big difference, is that for Aristotle, friendship was ultimately about honesty and reciprocation. For Nietzsche, friendship is about growth, which can take place through conflict, and can include dishonesty. This difference is going to be important when looking at Hannibal and Will.
