Simpsons - Sideshow Bob

| Trait | Description | Evidence | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Belief he is a misunderstood genius. | His rakes monologue: "No, no... the vulnerability of the victim is what makes the rakes funny." | | Hamartia | Fatal flaw: Compulsive need to explain his plan. | Every episode ends because he stops to lecture Bart or sing a Gilbert & Sullivan tune. | | Superego | High-culture morality (twisted). | Refuses to kill with a gun ("Too pedestrian. Too... random .") Prefers elaborate, poetic death traps. | | Id | Primal rage triggered by stepping on a rake. | Iconic, repeated gag: stepping on a rake, which snaps up and hits him in the face. |
