Editing Jules Maigret (section)

===Characteristics===
Maigret wears a thick black [[overcoat]], a [[bowler hat]] (which he later swaps out for a [[fedora]]) and frequently smokes a [[tobacco pipe]].<ref>Murielle Wenger, Stephen Trussel ''Maigret's World: A Reader's Companion to Simenon's Famous Detective'', McFarland 2017, p.21</ref> He is described as tall and heavy, with broad shoulders, large hands, a thick face, thick hair, thick eyebrows and bright eyes of a "greenish gray" colour. He has strongly growing facial hair and therefore shaves every morning.<ref>Murielle Wenger, Stephen Trussel ''Maigret's World: A Reader's Companion to Simenon's Famous Detective'', McFarland 2017, p.16-19</ref>

In his investigations, Maigret's method is to put himself in another person's place in order to discover why the crime was committed, rather than just finding out [[whodunit]]. He is described as a person with extraordinary [[humanity (virtue)|humanity]].<ref>Murielle Wenger, Stephen Trussel ''Maigret's World: A Reader's Companion to Simenon's Famous Detective'', McFarland 2017, p.1-2</ref>
