The Trickster and Bart
A trickster is a dishonest person who defrauds others by trickery (Merriam Webster). Tricksters can also show some empathy for others, but for the most part are neutral characters who are just in it for themselves, and they rarely follow social norms. Bart Simpson, a ten-year-old kid from the popular television show, The Simpsons, perfectly fits the trickster archetype with his ability to easily trick people for his entertainment. Bart likes to prank call restaurants and harass teachers at his school for his enjoyment. The Trickster, from The Trickster Myth of the Winnebago Indians, also deceives people for his enjoyment. He plays tricks on kids, women, and even ducks just to get a good laugh. Bart Simpson fits the trickster archetype just like the Trickster from the Winnebago tribe in that he loves playing practical jokes and disregards human life for his entertainment, while also demonstrating empathy for people he cares about.
