Similarities Between Dexter The TV Show And Dexter

Dexter the TV show and Dexter the novel are the same and differ in some ways. Although his character traits remain the same in both. Dexter is a serial killer from Miami, Florida. What makes him so unique is that he murders people for reasons that are justifiable. Dexter had this urge to murder people at a young age. His adopted father Harry noticed this when Dexter would kill animals when he was younger. Harry and a doctor named Evelyn Vogel developed a code of ethics called the “The code of Harry”. This was basically a code to channel Dexter’s killing in a more positive way versus killing senselessly. Harry would show Dexter how to get away with the murders which made him more powerful. Dexter chose to have a career in blood splatter analytics.

The main distinction I have observed between the two is how this desire is handled. Dexter's mental disorder, known as the Dark Passenger, is portrayed differently in each of the two. I saw that this desire is handled differently in the book since it is a supernatural aspect. For instance, Dexter is recorded as stating, "The frigid voice of the Dark Passenger was quiet, and I could be me again," in the novel. (Lindsay, Jeff; Darkly Dreaming Dexter, page 19, paragraph 2). The reader is inclined to think of this Dark Passenger as a supernatural creature than as someone who is suffering from mental illness after reading those words, "the chilly voice." The phrase from Dexter, "The Code of Harry” is fulfilled, coupled with the Dark Passenger," is one more illustration of this. It raises the question of whether the Dark Passenger is a supernatural person or if his ability to experience feelings like contentment is

The Dark Passenger is mentioned frequently in the television series. I'll use a case from the first season as an illustration. His mental ailment, known as The Dark Passenger, was brought on by the tragedy of losing his mother as a child. Dexter is said to have developed some type of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of going through some of the experiences he had as a child, namely witnessing the death of his mother at a young age. The Dark Passenger was then described as an addiction in season two. More than we might believe, the question of whether addiction is a mental condition is contentious. I consider addiction to be a form of mental disorder. There is no doubt that Dexter's "addiction" is a mental disease. It is important to mention that Dexter believed Travis Marshall had a unique Dark Passenger in the TV series, which was distinct from his own. Dexter thought Travis' Dark Passenger was more of a figure, capable of walking, talking, breathing, and even being murdered. Then Dexter understood that this was untrue and that Travis shared his mental
