by

Currently, “The Simpsons” is airing fresh episodes weekly this Spring, and the latest installment of Season 36 has unveiled a significant secret that Marge has concealed throughout all 36 seasons, which provides context for some of her actions. In recent years, “The Simpsons” has been exploring new directions, and it has brought about intriguing changes during the past few seasons. Alongside revealing previously unknown aspects of established characters, this season’s episode delves further into Marge’s psyche, offering insight into her motivations.

In The Simpsons, it’s no secret that Marge suppresses her emotions amidst the turmoil caused by Homer and the rest of her family. To keep their unconventional household running smoothly, she needs to maintain a certain distance from the stress they bring. However, a recent episode brings to light a significant truth about Marge’s longevity in Springfield: for over three decades, she has been hiding a stack of hate letters, symbolizing her buried feelings.

The Simpsons Reveals Marge’s Big Secret

P.S. I Hate You” (Season 36 Episode 14 of The Simpsons) showcases Springfield residents celebrating Marge’s birthday and showering her with praise as the kindest woman in town. However, longtime rival Helen Lovejoy manages to irritate Marge, causing her to storm into her room enraged. To everyone’s surprise, she later emerges happier than ever. The family notices that this is a peculiar pattern whenever Marge gets angry, but they are unaware of the secret activity she engages in. It’s revealed that Marge has been writing hate letters to vent her anger, a habit she picked up as a child when she read it suggested in a magazine. Over the years, she has continued this secretive pastime.

The revelation of Marge’s secret feelings only comes to light after a box of letters is stolen from her home and used for blackmail. Consequently, Springfield learns about Marge’s true emotions towards them, which she later apologizes for and expresses her desire to be more open. This newfound honesty earns the town’s respect, as they acknowledge that Marge is a complex individual with depth. Interestingly, this secret does not contradict any of Marge’s past actions in Springfield.

This Isn’t a Major Marge Retcon

This revelation seems to suggest a significant shift in Marge’s character portrayal, given her past actions. While it’s not unusual for us to see Marge lose control, especially with her family, she has consistently shown an ability to maintain composure when dealing with others in Springfield. However, it’s not entirely unexpected that Marge would have a compassionate view of the town, considering her generally kind and understanding nature.

Earlier instances of The Simpsons showed Marge undergoing therapy and writing secret letters, which gives her a more complex portrayal after all these years. She’s never been purely benevolent, but she’s consistently displayed the most understanding among all characters in the show. Now we understand how she manages to be so patient.
