If I have one criticism about #characterisation in #TheSimpsons is that Police Chief Wiggum should be a bit darker.

Character development in good literature is a myth.

The best characters are defined by their habits.

Whatever situation they are in, whatever their goals, they are going to react in the same way they always react.

If they are violent, they will always respond with violence.
If they always blame themselves then they will always blame themselves.

Every

single

time.
