need in BR is to haunt and kill the replicants remaining on earth. Rachel is the films' femme fatale and Deckard cannot resist her, even though she is a replicant. The structural roles of the characters in Blade Runner can be applied to Vladimir Propp's (1975, in Turner, G.) theories of the different roles of characters in a story.
