She is this type of villain because she doesn’t have a backstory that makes her sympathetic to the audience. In “No Sympathy for the Devil”, the author argues that in Dexter, the television show, he became sympathetic when the audience saw his backstory (Havrilesky 466).

A struggle within herself is to try to please Kramer while also trying to fulfill her own desires to hurt people while trying not to get caught by the police or having Kramer disapprove of her
