Morgan
Morgan studies criminal psychology but fails to realize that the man she's been dating and is engaged to marry is lying about everything. She has a tendency to date men of the sociopathic variety, which she admits to herself eventually, with the help of therapy. She works on her thesis and tries to understand the complexity of her breakup, a breakup facilitated by her dogs who ate her fiance alive.
Bennett
Bennett is a French Canadian bassist who used to play for Radiohead and whom Morgan met online and fell in love with. When they moved in together, Bennett became extremely domineering and hostile, often abusing her emotionally. Bennett meets his end when Morgan's dogs tear him limb from limb and eat his flesh. It turns out Bennett's name is not Bennett, and nothing he has said about himself is true whatsoever. He was a sociopathic liar.
Morgan's therapist
Morgan's time in therapy is helpful to her because she realizes that she has a tendency to learn facts about human psychology without using that knowledge to scrutinize her own decisions. She realizes that she is the opposite of someone who likes to play the victim. As the therapist notes, she tends to invite mistreatment. The therapist reflects Morgan's associations back to her in questions, leading Morgan to emotional breakthroughs that eventually help her to write a powerful thesis about victimhood in her criminal justice program.
