Maggie



Maggie Simpson has been in the animated sitcom “The Simpson’s” from the beginning in 1987. Her full name is Margaret Simpson. Maggie is the daughter of Homer and Marge Simpson. Her siblings are Bart and Lisa Simpson. She is the youngest of the five main characters. The family of seven, including a dog named Santa's Little Helper and the cat Snowball, all live like a typical American family in the strange town Springfield. Maggie was named after the director, [|Matt Groening] 's, younger sister Margaret Groening. Like everyone else in the TV show, Maggie never gets older. She has been the one-year-old baby in the Simpson family from the start. Maggie Simpson is like a small copy of her older sister Lisa with the yellow star hair. And like everyone else in Springfield, she’s yellow. She is always wearing blue clothes. A blue dress and a blue hair ribbon. She is always seen with a read pacifier in the mouth and if someone takes it out, she starts to cry. In the winter Maggie is orange when she uses an orange snow suit. Even though Maggie is one of the five main characters, she is more anonymous than many of the supporting roles. She almost never speaks ore cries in the series. Maggie sucking at her pacifier is the only sound we here from that lovely girl. Mostly she sits very calm in the background of the event items. Homer Simpson often forgets her and Marge have to remind him that he has tree kids, not only two.

I think there is much going on in little Maggie’s life that people around here is not aware of. None of the family members have heard Maggie’s first word but in fact she has said several sentences. Just when Homer hade gone out of the room after hoping Maggie never would say a word, she said here first word “daddy”. This was spoken by Elizabeth Taylor. Even though she not speak much her small contributions are important for the stories. In the series they needed a cute character. Its funny that she never plays a big part in any episodes, but she is always there. If there were too many strong characters in the show it might have been confusing, and difficult for the viewers to keep track of everyone. So we can say that Maggie soften up the show. And that is her main role.
