I am doing a paper for my college Composition class about the different perceptions of "evil", and I'm focusing on how some "evil" characters on 텔레비전 actually "connect" with viewers.

I'm a film student,what makes 덱스터 "likable" is the simple fact that he's the main character,so unconsciously the viewer feels related to him.
I think that the show makes "acceptable" for him to kill 의해 showing (us) his past, the reason he's like that,and that his victims are "bad people",it make us understand him and ignore the fact that he's a murderer
Now,my personal oppinion, 덱스터 has a particular way of seeing the world (the sociopath way XD)that I find very interesting,it's like he see through all the social rituals we have and don't notice how ridiculous 또는 fake they are.

I think that it's the idea that we all have something dark inside of us and occasionally everyone feels a little anti-social 또는 confused about relationships with people and how to act to fit into society. It's interesting that 덱스터 has been able to fake all these social connections and is accepted into society, unlike most serial killers. Also, the fact that he's different than other heros. There are tons of characters on TV that are accepted as heros. ie. those with super powers, those who save lives and those who catch criminals. 덱스터 does save lives 의해 preventing murderers from killing again, but he does it 의해 ending lives which is ironic and such a interesting concept in my opinion.

I think that his actions are dismissed 또는 accepted because he isn't killing innocent people, he is killing serious criminals that the justice system failed to punish. He's seen as a hero in my eyes.

The last 질문 I don't completely understand. Good luck with the paper. It sounds like a lot of fun!

I relate to 덱스터 because he brings to mind the laws of my ancient forefathers. I have a Hebrew background. If a matter was proven beyond a doubt the punishments were meted out on the spot. There was no union of lawyers, judges, and authors making millions on the crimes of criminals. The "system" today smacks of Hindu concepts designed to do two, (maybe 더 많이 than two), things. 1)Fulfill the law system of the Hindu, (No death penalties, etc). And, 2) Support the law enforcement growth industry which is necessary for the expansion of the police state. The law enforcement growth industry also provides millions of jobs and pours millions of, (so called), "dollars" into the usury system so that we can pay the eleventh dollar on our interest bearing loans. (It should be added that "usury" 또는 "interest" on loans was punishable 의해 death according to the ancient laws of the Hebrew Scriptures). (Can any of 당신 boys and girls tell me why there is a capitol crime meted out for a transgression we take for granted today as being lawful?

Also in the Scriptures there was to be a priesthood established forever with Phineas, "Because of his zeal for the laws of the God of Abraham." I see 덱스터 as a member of this promised genetic line.

Of course he's considered a mad man 의해 today's standards. He would have been considered a hero 의해 the standards of the past.

Isn't that interesting? The "Establishment" would probably put him to death if they caught him today. But his audience considers him a hero in accordance with the laws of our father's. Are we as a society sick and tired of "coddling" murderers, rapists, child molesters, and blatant theft?
