The restless yellow family from the small town of Springfield has been the favorite of the whole world all this time. The main characters are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa (Lisa) and Maggie Simpson. They have long become cult. Each of them has its own fans. Most of the audience love goes to Homer and Bart, housewives adore Marge, and excellent students Lisa. However, the youngest of the Simpsons family - Maggie - is loved by absolutely everyone.
The Simpsons animated series: plot and heroes
Starting in the late eighties, the cartoon "The Simpsons" pretty soon gained millions of fans. Over the years of its existence, he was able to survive many others, both animated and television projects. This series has earned phenomenal popularity due to the irony and self-irony of the cartoon. Its creators joke, parody, and sometimes harshly criticize absolutely everything: the modern way of life, culture, technological innovations, various religions, social institutions, and even themselves. At the same time, "The Simpsons" always keep up to date and raise relevant topics. Despite the troubles the heroes of The Simpsons fall into, they always manage to save their difficult family.
At first, the main character of the animated series was the eldest child of the four Simpsons - a ten-year-old tomboy and inveterate bully Bart (Bartholomew). However, after several seasons it turned out that the uneducated, short-sighted glutton, the father of the Homer family, is more interesting to the public. Therefore, the plot was concentrated around his antics.
To attract a female audience, quite often in separate episodes, Homer's wife, a housewife and caring mother of three children, Marge (Margery) comes to the fore. And for more feminist-minded spectators, some episodes are dedicated to the eldest daughter of the Simpsons - an eight-year-old excellent student, a Buddhist, a vegetarian, and just a good girl Lisa. Apart from all the other members of the yellow family is Maggie Simpson from the TV series The Simpsons. She concentrates in herself practically all the main features of the characters of her family. At the same time, baby Maggie, unlike others, manages to always come out dry from the water. Moreover, on account of this baby is an attempt to kill a man with a firearm. And not one.
Margaret Evelyn (Maggie) Simpson
Maggie's age ranges from eight months to one year. As a baby, she crawls, sometimes walks, but never talks. For all the seasons of the cartoon, Maggie Simpson spoke only twice: she said “dad”, but no one heard this, and also made a speech in one of the stories told by Marge.
An integral attribute of this baby is a red dummy. Parting with her is very painful for the girl, so she always tries to return her, while showing non-childish inventiveness. So, once for the sake of returning the dummy, Maggie even organized a riot among the kids.
All the little Simpsons: Bart and Maggie, as well as Lisa - were unplanned. However, Homer found out about Margaret later. The fact is that, having paid all the loans, he quit the hateful job at the nuclear power plant and got into a bowling alley. But suddenly, Marge became pregnant. A family with three children needed more money than they paid in bowling. In order not to upset her husband, Marge for many months hid her position. As a result, it was because of Maggie that Homer had to return to his old job.
Features of the heroine
Despite her young age, Maggie is smart as Lisa. It is understood that she is a genius. In addition, the younger Simpson is well aware of the surrounding reality, although sometimes it is childishly sentimental. With inability to speak, Maggie often expresses her thoughts and needs with the help of smacking dummies and gestures. Despite her good looks, the baby knows how to deal with many types of weapons.
Relationship with family
Homer often forgets that he has a third child. He does not remember her name, although in some episodes he enjoys spending time with his youngest daughter. Several times she even saved his life. The rest of the time, Margaret Evelyn (Maggie) Simpson is next to her mother, to whom she is incredibly attached. So, during the vacation Marge baby ran away from home and went in search of mom.
In separate episodes, the girl proves her independence and adulthood, without Marge without help. Maggie Simpson gets along well with her brother and sister. It is noteworthy that they are almost not jealous of her parents. With her mother's sisters, the vicious smoking twins Patti and Selma, Maggie does not like to spend time. Therefore, he is trying hard to avoid this.
Criminal past
Maggie Simpson's biography is full of interesting episodes related to violations of the law. In one of the seasons, she shot a revolver at a local antagonist - old Burns. This happened when he wanted to take her candy. Subsequently, everyone considered this a coincidence, but the expression on the baby’s face makes it clear that she did it on purpose .
Also, it was this innocent baby who wounded from a rifle the members of the gang of mafiosi who came to kill her father. However, no one ever found out about this. In the feature film The Simpsons at Cinema, Maggie Simpson rescued her dad and brother Bart again by shooting a man about to kill them. This act was again considered an accident.
Rebellious future
In separate episodes of the television series devoted to the future of his heroes, the matured baby is also shown. It is intended that Maggie Simpson grow up a rebel and a singer. Although viewers have never been able to hear her vocals, local priest Lovejoy claims that Maggie has a voice like an angel.
In the more distant future, Maggie became a famous singer in a rock band. She also gave birth to a daughter outwardly similar to herself. And she called her little copy of Maggie Jr. The baby is very similar to his mother.
The character of Maggie Simpson is the most multifaceted in the whole project. This is due to the fact that in different series the baby was credited with various traits of character. Being smart as Lisa, bold and independent, like Bart, cheerful, like Homer, Maggie became the favorite of not only her whole family, but also millions of viewers.
