    The TV show ‘Dexter’ is the story about an anti-hero named Dexter Morgan that works as a blood splatter expert for the Miami Police Department by day‚ but by night he kills bad guys who have escaped the legal system. It is not your typical TV drama because it shows unrealistic situations and events because of his personality and background. Dexter also verges on Dark Comedy.

    Characters such a the antagonist play an important role in every story. Without an antagonist the story may seem boring and very simple. The antagonist is the villain in the story‚ they are most likely the reason conflict is occurring. Almost every book I’ve read‚ every movie I’ve watched and every story ever told to me has had a bad guy in it. One villain I despise is the local police commissioner from The Book Of Henry‚ Glenn Sickleman. Glenn may seem like a regular old guy living next to you but
