ScreenRant

Rita made her debut appearance in the first episode of the series. She was a single mother, and she and Dexter were only getting to know one another. Because viewers already knew he was a serial murderer, seeing him in this more human light highlighted how complicated his life was.

The couple became closer over the next four seasons as Rita learned to trust and love Dexter. Dexter struggled to experience normal emotions at first, but when they married and had a kid together, he seemed to learn to love her and even improve as a person while they were together.

Many viewers considered their strange bond incredibly sympathetic and even humanizing for the serial murderer, which only added to the shock of her death.

Throughout her four-season career, she was subjected to unnecessarily painful treatment, beginning with her violent ex-husband. She then went through the mental anguish that comes with dating a double-life serial killer, only to be murdered by a mass murderer who simply brutalized her to illustrate a point to her husband.

Rita was, in the end, a one-dimensional figure. She was always defined by her victimization, and she was mostly utilized as a tool for Dexter’s development or as a means of inflicting pain on him.
