1. The "Safe" Vocabulary

El Chavo: The innocent, the eternal victim of circumstance. He represents the child in every adult—the part of us that is confused by the rules of society.
Quico: The entitled rich kid. His mother, Doña Florinda, represents the aspirational middle class that looks down on the vecindad. Quico’s exaggerated crying and superior attitude are satires of classism.
Don Ramón: The "boludo" or "vago" (the lazy, clever loser). He is the unemployed, underemployed man who survives on his wits. He is the anti-hero of survival.
La Chilindrina: The precocious, entrepreneurial girl. She is the brains of the operation, using her intelligence to navigate a world where the adults are often useless.
El Señor Barriga: The landlord. He is not evil, just annoyed. He represents the inevitable authority that always comes to collect.
