    The author gives a new proof of the existence of Morley sequences in simple theories. Instead of building a very large independent sequence first and then using the Erdős-Rado theorem together with Morley's method, he only uses Ramsey's theorem and compactness. The construction relies on a property of forcing, called by the author dual finite character. He answers a question asked by \textit{R. Grossberg} et al. [Arch. Math. Logic 41, No. 6, 541--580 (2002; Zbl 1024.03029)] and \textit{J. T. Baldwin} [``How big should the monster model be?'', in: Logic without borders. Essays on set theory, model theory, philosophical logic and philosophy of mathematics. Berlin: De Gruyter. 30--51 (2015; \url{doi:10.1515/9781614516873.31})] .
