Relating to Ed, Edd n Eddy
You can view the original transcript here. While indluging myself with one of my favorite cartoons, Ed, Edd n eddy, I discovered how much I can relate to that particular cartoon more than I can relate to my own mother. In the fraction of a second I suddenly realized how strong of a bond I actually held with that television show. Let me break it down for you. Ed, Edd, and Eddy each represent a different part of me. Ed, the idiot with the uni-brow, represents my extreme ignorance and devil-may-care nature; the part of me that usually acts as a facade to hide the interior of my being. No matter what disappointments I meet, this part of me could care less, and shrugs it off in a manner that would make most people think nothing had happened. Edd, otherwise known as "Double Dee," emblematizes my intellectual side. Double Dee almost always thinks things through, he almost always considers the consequences, and he loves learning. This corresponds to my intellectual nature, my inquisitive self. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy anything else. I almost always think ahead to the consequences of my actions, and I take them into serious consideration before comitting myself to my actions. I learn from my experiences, both my victories and my failures. Eddy, the greedy little perverted twit whom we all love to feel annoyed by, represents just that. My lust and greed. Not greed for money, in particular, but greed for many different things. The greed and lust, at times, act as one. I may feel greed for one thing in order to obtain the object I lust for. In the show we have smaller supporting roles. One role, though many would hardly think of it as a role of importance, belongs to the jawbreaker. Each of the three characters listed above attempts, time and time again, to gain a jawbreaker into their possesion. The jawbreaker acts as one of their greatest desires, which fuels most of their attempts to gain money. The jawbreaker symbolizes my greatest desire at the time. That desire, like the jawbreaker, fuels me and gives my actions reason. Hoping to earn my own jawbreaker through whatever schemes my mad mind develops. Let us not forget the supporting characters. Our neighborhood kids, who usually do nothing more than degrade and poke fun at our three heros. Each of these represents a different type of person in my life. The person I yearn for, the bully, the odd ball everyone loves, the kid with such an overactive imagination that he has made an inanimate object his best friend, and more. I do not think I should need to explain how each of these correlate to the different people in my life, because I believe their simple roles (as listed above) explains it well enough. Only one other role exists. That of Eddy's big brother. We never see his big brother, but we always hear of him. Eddy constantly paraphrases this intangible soul and uses the advice he has gained from him to aid him in his scheming. The big brother acts as a compilation of the many people and experiences I look up to, and learn from, and attempt to live up to. The big brother acts, in a way, as my own personal God, though I consider myself an atheist. Together, all of these roles--big and small--when joined together in this paticular television show, make up my life and my very being. Creepy, don't you think? Goturuge - Always over analyzing.
