“tramp” character—the homeless hobo that can
be seen hopping from trains and lining up in the soup kitchens
of the Great Depression. At a time when the whole world was
struggling from economic meltdown, Charlie Chaplin made
“destitute” a term of endearment.
✓ From the Poorhouse to the Stage
As goofy as some of Chaplin’s slapstick comedic
moments are in his films, it was the way he just kept trundling
along, even in the face of great adversity, that empowered so
many. It was this tantalizing glimpse of hope, more than
anything else, that kept them coming back for more. **Charlie Chaplin
We may laugh when we see Charlie Chaplin so broke that he has
to boil his shoes and eat them, but during the worst parts of
the economic collapse of the 1920s and 1930s, some people had
to do just that. So, at the time, even though many would laugh
at the crazy tramp’s antics, they could also relate and
identify with them.
And the fact that Charlie Chaplin’s tramp character could
be completely broke with his pockets turned out, sitting in a
gutter with the rain pouring down, yet still be happy, gave
people quite a bit of encouragement. People thought that if the
homeless, wandering tramp portrayed in Chaplin’s films
could get through such rough times and be alright, maybe they
could too.Inside you will read about...
