The acclaimed animated series South Park ("South Park") was released on the screens of Comedy Central in 1997. Three years later, the rights were bought by the MTV music channel. The creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have made every effort to give the cult cartoon maximum irony and set out dozens of true stories that ridicule and criticize the entire culture of the United States. The story tells of a small town in Colorado. In the city of South Park, all the heroes are a manifestation of mysterious, emotional and very absurd qualities. One of the most colorful characters in the animated series is Mr. Harrison.
What is a character like?
The character Mr. Harrison appeared on the screens along with the first series. A strange and very arrogant elementary school teacher is found in all 20 seasons. Harrison is a manifestation of the two sides of the same coin, where the line is drawn between a modest, lonely, introverted teacher and a cynical, evil resident of a small town. From the first episode, Harrison never ceases to amaze us. First, we see on his hand a small theatrical doll, which is the second side of the coin. We see how a simple teacher tries to deal with the attacks of the outside world with the help of his friend "Mr. Hats" (in the series, Harrison repeatedly seeks advice from the doll and treats it like a second "I"). In addition, the school teacher does not quite look like a teacher in elementary grades. His tasks are not entirely clear and adequate, and the behavior of children in the lesson leaves much to be desired.
What is his real name?
The first mention of the name of Mr. Harrison was in the 901 series. Then the school teacher carefully concealed his origin, profession and name, so he always called himself differently. Although there was not a single character in the entire series whose name the audience would not know. At first he was called Ethan, after he published the book "Valley of the Penis", and in some episodes he was called Janet, but his real name is Herbert. To find out Mr. Harrison’s name, it’s enough to carefully review episodes 406 (“Cartman enters NAMBLA”), 111 (“Tom's Rhinoplasty Clinic”) and 511 (“Essence”).
Mr. or Mrs. Harrison?
The character's character speaks of the loneliness of Harrison. Nobody feels special sympathy for him, he has practically no friends, and the residents of the city do not notice him. Moreover, Mr. Harrison is a hidden homosexual who vehemently denies this fact. The habits of the school teacher betray his sexual orientation, and after several seasons the same school teacher appears on the threshold of a new series, but already in the body of a woman. Mr. Harrison, in despair, changes his gender and calls himself Jenna (for a school teacher, this was a turning point).
It is then that he finds new sexual partners and homosexual friends. During this period, Mr. Harrison takes off his friend Mr. Hat, becomes more confident and open. True, the whole new experience did not last long, and in the next series we see how Jenna again becomes the usual school teacher Herbert Harrison.
