Superintendent+Gary+Chalmers

Superintendent Gary Chalmers is the character that I’m going to analyse. This character is the superintendent of Springfield’s school district, and doesn’t have any central role in “The Simpsons”. We can see him in some episodes where Bert is at school, for example in “Yokel Chords”. Chalmers is probably best known for throwing open doors to rooms and then bellowing “SKINNER” or “SEY-MOUR!”. In the episode “ Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song”, Chalmers is angry and yell “skinner!” when he comes to the school, because of a dog that is with Bart to school. Chalmers get Principal Skinner fired. In this episode I think we’re getting known with the typically Superintendent Chalmers. Gary Chalmers has grey and balding hair, and is in the age of 50 or 60. I don’t think anybody in The Simpsons dare speak against him, because he’s strict and a humourless man with a very short temper. I think many of the other characters are scared of him. Gary Chalmers’ characteristics are revealed through words (when he’s yelling), actions (he opens doors brutally and makes a generally calm school to a school with fear) and appearance. This characteristics aid in the character being believable, interesting, consistent and adequately motivated! His strength in the film is probably to be bossy, and his weakness is maybe to be a superintendent. He’s mostly acting like a military officer. Gary Chalmers has a romantic interest. In some episodes, he can be seen dating a woman. In other episodes he’s mentioning he is married. I don’t know anything about his family and his wife in unnamed. All we know is that he’s dating Agnes Skinner, Seymours mother! It doesn’t say anything about his fears and goals, and he doesn’t seem to be a guy who’s afraid for something.
