Dexter Green the protagonist of Winter Greens ,grew up in a small village Keeble of Minnesota.His father was a grocer and his mother was of Bohemian origin.He was ambitious and hard working ,achieves want he dreamt for,wealth and status.Dexter is infatuated with Judy which he thinks is his love.Dexter persists in believing that Judy is the ideal woman perfect for him,he forgets that she is human being with her own flaws.Caught in between this idealism of Judy and the reality of Judy which Dexter doesn't wants to accept,he gets disenchanted and this shatters his illusions and ideals of Judy.
Dexter is blind to his own self created idealism and illusion,to which he himself becomes the prey.Because of his illusioned possesiveness of Judy he was never happy with her,it was the main obstacle for their happy relationship.So I do not sympathize with Dexter Green in his tangled feelings for Judy Jones.
