Dexter Morgan is a serial killer in the show "Dexter." This sounds absolutely terrible and makes it seem like he should be the antagonist of the show, except what makes him the anti-hero is the fact that he kills for good reasons. He only murders other murderers as retribution.
Ichabod Crane is one of literature's earliest anti-heroes. He is one of those protagonists that you love to hate, due to his manipulative, dark nature. If anyone actually knew this man in real life they would probably be prone to not being his friend due to his disgusting nature.
Both Dexter Morgan and Ichabod Crane are anti-heroes because they have dark, twisted minds and manipulate other people to gain an advantage. For example, Ichabod Crane uses Katrina Von Tassel in order to acquire her father's money so he can live a comfortable life. While Dexter uses his significant other to cover up for his lack of emotion and create a perfect cover up for the murders he performes.
Anti-Heroes are one of the most interesting and fun archetypes to watch or read in literature/media due to their uniqueness and how they go about progressing the story. Ichabod Crane and Dexter Morgan are no different and this is what makes them interesting.
