This phase is followed by the development of a close relationship with animals left by her husband and although the narrator regularly receives immunotherapy shots, she is determined to love the animals as much as her husband did. The story starts with a narration about the death of the protagonist’s husband and soon the reader realizes that the story is about a woman coping with a loss (Hempel, 17). A similar pain-embracing character is presented in the narration of the short story, Nashville Goes to Ashes by Amy Hempel. At the same time, Dexter also reflects a gentlemanly style with his supportive attitude towards his sister (Lindsay, n.pag.). But while Dexter is essentially a demon within, he is also able to put up a socially acceptable mask to cover his inner being.
The title of the book appropriately describes the monster within Dexter who cannot be controlled.
Dexter, the main character, is also the narrator of the story who presents a profound proclivity for murders and killings. The protagonist of Jeff Lindsay’s book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, is ironically an addicted serial killer who derives his euphoria from murders.
