    You instantly recognises the brotherly bond they share as they are more relaxed around each other and constantly compete “Homer and I had spent all our free time together when we were little, and we were still close…” Ellie on page 16. Homer is all about individualism and is quick to voice his opinions. He tends to act before he thinks as well and doesn’t consider the consequences as displayed in his latest escapade before the camp “He’d just been caught pouring a line of solvent across the road and lighting it from his hiding place when a car got close…” Ellie on page 13. Homer may seem confident but he is actually quite insecure, establishing a false reputation as a disrespectful and insensitive ‘guys guy’ to gain popularity and fit…

    Marge’s saint-like personality counters Homer’s drunk, careless one whereas Lisa Simpson’s kind-hearted, gifted personality counters Bart’s chaotic, reckless one. Lisa is by far the most intelligent and kind member of the family. Her actions and personality cause some religious scholars to believe that she speaks on behalf of Jesus. When analyzed, Lisa’s actions parallel those of Jesus’ on many levels. First of all, her main goal in life is to do good in the world. She supports the poor and is critical of the rich and she often helps the homeless and poor. Second, she questions conventional wisdom, despite her unpopularity while doing so. Much like Jesus, who questioned the ways humans served God religiously, Lisa questions the less intelligent members of Springfield on the conventional wisdom they use. Third, she believes in defending the rights of God’s lesser beings, such as wild animals. And lastly, she takes pity on the unloved, giving affection to them unconditionally. This being said, she does not support religious thought. Despite her kind-hearted nature, she opposes religious hysteria, denounces blind faith, and attempts to overcome the theory of religion with science. Although she is in support of science, she still prays to God in some rare instances, proving that she still has a spiritual side. What makes Lisa a good model to the viewers is that she lives a life helping others…
