Greg Heffley is the main character and narrator of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series written by Jeff Kinney. He lives with his two brothers, Rodrick and Manny Heffley, and his parents, Susan and Frank Heffley. Okay, this might be a bit long.
As a younger kid, I used to absolutely love reading these DOAWK books. It was probably my favorite book series.
My opinions were along the lines of, "Greg is a smart guy even though he's failing," "Rowley is stupid for falling for the obvious jokes," "Rodrick is an awful older brother," etc. These were the opinions that kids my age generally had.
A few years into my fascination with these books, I started to pick up on something.
Why does Greg not care about the way he treats Rowley and everyone else?
That was before I had learned what the word 'sociopath' meant. Recently, I started to learn and study what terms like sociopathy, psychopath, narcissist, and other similar words mean.
Once I started to gain knowledge on those, I realized that Greg wasn't JUST a middle schooler who thought everyone was a burden to him. He wasn't JUST a guy using his so-called best friend to perform weird and sometimes sadistic tasks. He was a budding sociopath.
It kind of hit me like a truck. Of course, he's a sociopath! What normal person thinks that way?
She is a lovely patch of sunshine, rich, beautiful, and popular. No one can let her down! Greg adores her! In middle school.
Holly is nice, intelligent, and independent, and I see why Greg admires her.
She's nice and fun. She should boost the relationship with Greg though.
Funny and very athletic, and it is surprising Greg is his son! Susan is his wife.
He loves his Civil War replica in his basement.
A loving, caring mother who embarrasses Greg. She loves to dance! Greg, Rodrick, and Manny are her sons.
She honestly gets better in the later books.
She makes mommy meals! I actually want to try a mommy meal in real life, 'cause why not?
Poor Rowley, Greg is a jerk to him! I mean, Rowley is a little stupid, but that doesn't mean that Greg should mistreat him!
I've always loved Rowley. I hated how their friendship separated in The Ugly Truth and The Third Wheel.
A funny, loving, kind-hearted sweetie who embarrasses Greg, his best friend! And acts like a kindergartener! In middle school.
He's a bit of a jerk and not likable, to be honest, but still, the party he threw was funny. Especially the crusty pizza crust in the cereal box and the message written on the door.
Rodrick understands how middle school actually works. He finds a way to enjoy his life, even though his little brother Manny is so spoiled and rotten.
This dude is awesome. Three reasons: he loves heavy metal, he likes Avenged Sevenfold, and he likes Guns N' Roses. This is like the most awesome dude in movie history.
A hot, popular, cool, beautiful, chic girl! Holly is her sister. Rodrick loves her! In high school.
Manny really pisses me off and always gets Greg in trouble! And he's not an innocent, sweet, and cute toddler like the person below me said.
Manny is a bit of a tattler, but in a way, I think Manny is funny.
An innocent, cute, sweet baby who is three.
He might be mean to Greg, but he is a good actor. Have the comments above me forgotten this is just a movie?
The Newcomers
Greg's dad should NOT have switched Greg's dentist to him. Greg should've kept going to Tender Hugs and seen Rachael, not Dr. Kagan.
Why am I the only one who unironically considers him to be my favorite character? Too bad he doesn't show up after the 8th book.
My twin! Stop hating on him, please, thanks.
The Mingo tribe would be interesting if there was more of a backstory or a deeper look at them, to be honest. Like, why are they there?
It's funny when he keeps everyone in during recess.
This kid always spreads fake news, and Greg is so gullible to fall for it. But nobody wanted to use the bathroom when he said, "Silas Scratch can come out of the toilet."
