Bart-The real Matt

Another kid who impressed me a lot is Bart, the first child of the Simpsons family. Unlike Calvin, he has two siblings to share his life. But still he is a BOY. I mean a real naughty, lively boy.

Read somewhere that Matt created Bart's character based on his own. When a creator thrusts his or her own memories or qualities in a character, it obviously becomes close to reality. Bart is closer to the real world. To be precise the true hero of the Simpsons is Bart, since he is from the heart of the creator. Although not to be forgotten that Matt added his family members to his Simpson family with the same names. But it cannot be certainly commented that he was successful in portraying them with the same attributes. May be he or may not be. But Bart is different. I can bet that he is straight from his heart.

I'm pretty sure that every fictitious character will have some influence of the real world human that attracted the creator. But a character that the creator sees as his or her own reflection is more real and unassuming.

I actually cannot finger any particular character as my personal favorite in the Simpsons. Everyone is unique in their own way, representing one or many of the human sentiments. But Bart is a step ahead, standing at the threshold of the 2-D world and peeping with eagerness to be a part of this real life.
