The Code of HarryThis is a featured page


As soon as Dexter's father, a law enforcement officer, noticed that his son was showing signs of psychotic behavior, he started to teach him how to deal with his violent urges. "The Code of Harry" contains the set of rules Dexter's father taught him to control, mask, and channel his urges.

Harry Morgan | James Remnar on Dexter

You're my son, you're not alone and you're loved.
— Harry Morgan
______________________________

What Dexter learned from his father about life:
  • Killing innocents is NEVER allowed
  • Always take time and make sure you have the right person-EVIDENCE
  • Be extremely careful with the killing and more importantly the PREPARATION!

  • Remember: YOU control your urges to kill, they don't control you.
  • Fake emotion and normality to fit in.
  • never get caught!
  • When taking a psychology personality test, always answer the question with the opposite of what you feel

______________________________

What Dexter learned from his father about death:

  • That it's real, and that it will happen to everyone. It's just a matter of how and why it happens.

  • Cops care a lot when other cops are killed.

    • People are sad when their loved ones die and they are full of grief, the one thing Dexter has trouble faking.

      The Code of Harry

      Purpose: According to Harry: "It's not about vengeance, not about retaliation, or balancing the books -- it's about something deep inside."

      Tenets of Harry's lessons      :

      1. Killing must serve a purpose, otherwise it's just plain murder.
      2. Be sure.
      3. Blend in -- maintain appearances.
      4. Control urges, and channel them.

      Does Dexter ever have the urge to go "outside" the code.
      Like does he ever just want to let loose and kill a random person walking by,
      or has the code formed his urge only to kill those who deserve it?

      I have often wondered if the Code will actually be Dexters salvation. Dexter has this affliction, he can not hel himself that he is what he is.
      Since Dexter only kills those that need to be punished. Will he forgiven that he is or has killed. Does he get credit for the good stuff, or I should say he murders he has prevented?

      Am I the only person out there that has trouble understanding the fact that Harry walked into the cargo box, picked up a three year old boy, and COMPLETELY IGNORED the six-year-old sitting in the blood next to him??? So Dexter gets a new family and Brian gets hospitalized? I've been trying to understand this for months now, and I would have thought there'd be some sort of explanation, but how can anyone consider Harry to be a moral compass knowing full-well that he could have taken both children in and didn't! And what kind of a$$hole splits up two small traumatized children??
