As everything with the show, they parallel each other. Detective Carver’s growth in depth is as expansive as Sgt. Omar’s strength of character and code of ethics is exactly the opposite of Proposition Joe’s con-man ways. Marlo’s ambition is only rivaled by Carcetti’s. You could make a case for any of the children being the protagonist *That means center of the show for those of us who have never taken an English Lit class. Name the main character of Season 4 of the Wire. They spread the wealth on this one folks.When you go to jail, very few people get to see you and you get to see very few people. His name is mentioned, but you never see his face. Avon Barksdale isn’t seen on screen for the entire series.You can either teach the kids or bury them.
