nobody mourns the wicked

Desde hace dos años que incluyo a Dexter Morgan entre mis mejores amigos, lo considero uno de los grandes personajes q ha creado el cine y la litertura norteamericana (o sea, la TV moral HBO aunque Dexter es de Showtime) y nada, a la espera q aparezca en WIKEN un articulo largo q escribi sobre Dexter --que ya está en DVD la temporada uno y muchos, como yo, ya vieron x internet la 2-- posteo esto q me envio un amigo (real) que es fan absoluto del gran Dex.

La cita corresponde al monólogo-voz en off de Dexter y es como cierra la temporada 2:
como es algo mas moral y metafisico, no revela ninguna info clave; ademas, DEXTER no es sobre qué hizo quién o quién es el malo sino por qué el malo es tan bueno y por qué uno es como es.


Not long ago I had a dream that people could see me for what I am. And for a brief instant of time the world actually saw my bodies of work.
Some even cheered.
But as it turns out, nobody mourns the wicked. Sorry, James. I think Harry knew that from the start. That's why he gave me a code.It cost him his life. But it kept me alive through incredible trials.
The code is mine now. And mine alone. So too are the relationships I cultivate. They're not just disguises anymore. I need them. Even if they make me vulnerable. My father might not approve. But I'm no longer his disciple. I'm a master now. An idea transcended into life.
And so this is my new path. Which is a lot like the old one. Only mine. To stay on that path I need to work harder. Explore new rituals, evolve.
Am I evil? Am I good?
I'm done asking those questions.
I don't have the answers.
Does anyone?


duda: pocos narradores de novelas narran asi. pocas peliculas tienen ese grado poetico y certero de narracion. Ni siquiera voy a opinar de las voces en off y los dialogos de la produccion nacional. DEXTER es, en ese sentido, una clase
