He has short spiky red hair. His hands are different from other clowns. He has needle for hands, who walks barefoot everywhere. He is not covered up completely. He has handcuffs on from getting out of an insane asylum. If the children hear Dexter, they are horrified of him. Also, he sends shivers down your spine and makes your hair stand up. If the children stay out late at night, Dexter traps them. He locks them up in a cage that replaces their eyes with buttons. He boils the eyes with thick drained blood from the forest animals he finds. …show more content…

From the mist, a shadow figure began to form and a sharp gasp escaped from the child’s lips. The ghost rose majestically from the mist and danced wildly in the air. Its dark golden eyes pierced straight into the eyes of the petrified child. A high pitched scream slipped from the lips of the child and suddenly the sun peeked from behind the clouds.

    Semiotics is the study of meaning. There are many aspects that go into developing a semiotic analysis. They include signs, a signifier and signified, codes, opposition, code confusion, intertexuality, paradigms, and syntagyms. Before delving into the analysis, the meaning of each of these terms and their relation to semiotics must be made clear. A sign could be anything that stands for something else. A signifier is the physical object that represents something else, while the signified is the image the object relays. Codes are a set of rules that govern everything. Opposition, or binary opposition, which is used in this analysis, is when two things or people are used as opposites against one another. This further elevates each person's role or meaning. Code confusion is when rules or codes are deliberately broken, often in order to generate humor. Paradigms are a collection of codes or signs that are put together in a certain manner to induce meaning. A syntagym deals with order, how and why a show (in this analysis Dexter) is ordered a certain way. Now with the basic semiotic terms understood it is possible to delve into the semiotic analysis of Dexter.…
