hoje apercebi-me que a @Marinha era o Eric Cartman do fórum.
É o que tento dizer há meses. Penso até que já ultrapassou o Cartman enquanto representação do arquétipo Trickster.
When we started the trickster module, the first character that came to mind as a modern day trickster was Eric Cartman from South Park. Cartman is the epitome of a trickster in just about every episode of South Park ever made. Cartman fits almost every characteristic Hynes describes. Hynes says “the trickster is cast as an ‘out’ person, and his activities are often outlawish, outlandish, outrageous, out-of-bounds, and out-of-order” (p 34). The most prevalent characteristics he displays are being a situation inverter, being a deceiver and trick-player, and playing the role of a shape-shifter. Cartman is a great example of a situation inverter. “As situation-inverter, the trickster exhibits typically the ability to overturn any person, place, or belief, no matter how prestigious. There is no “too much” for this figure. No order is too rooted, no taboo too sacred, no god too high, no profanity too scatological that it cannot be broached or inverted” (p 37). Cartman has absolutely no boundaries, and just as Hynes says, there is nothing too profane or prestigious that he will stop at. Cartman also displays characteristics of the deceiver/ trick player. Hynes says, “In many cultures, the trickster acts as the prima causa of disruptions and disorders, misfortunes and improperties….. His lying, cheating, tricking, and deceiving may derive from the trickster being simply an unconscious numbskull, or, at other times, from being a malicious spoiler” (p 35). In most episodes of South Park, the problems that arise are due to Cartman’s actions. He loves to spoil anything good that doesn’t involve him. He is often in turn tricked by his own tricks. He also plays the role of a shape-shifter very often. “As shape-shifter, the trickster can alter his shape or bodily appearance in order to facilitate deception. Not even the boundaries of species or sexuality are safe, for they can be dissolved by the trickster’s disguises and transmorphisms” (p 36). He has no boundaries in changing his appearance into that of a female or otherwise if it allows him to get what he wants.
