Mrs. Trunchbull was Roald Dahl's favorite character because she inspired him to get the story funny and add a little bit of action.
Miss Honey is the nicest and Miss Trunchbull is the meanest.
Yes, Roald Dahl's characters are often based on people he knew or encountered in his life. For example, the character of Miss Trunchbull in "Matilda" is said to be inspired by a real-life headmistress that Dahl had a negative experience with as a child.
In "Matilda" by Roald Dahl, Amanda Thripp is the character who gets thrown by her pigtails by Miss Trunchbull. Miss Trunchbull does this as a form of punishment for Amanda's pigtails being "unsightly."
Pam Ferris portrays the head teacher, Miss Trunchbull, in the film adaptation of Roald Dahl's "Matilda."
The Trunchbull made the boy spell "difficulty" in the book "Matilda" by Roald Dahl. When he misspelled it, she accused him of cheating and flung him by his pigtails out of a window.
Roald Dahl's favorite word was reportedly "scribble." He was known for his playful use of language and inventive vocabulary in his children's books.
Roald Dahl's goat was named Alfie. It lived in his garden and would eat roses.
The boy's name who ate the cake in the book Matilda by Roald Dahl is Bruce Bogtrotter. He was forced by the terrifying Miss Trunchbull to eat a whole chocolate cake as punishment.
Roald Dahl did not create Cinderella. Cinderella is a fairy tale that originated long before Dahl's time. Dahl was a children's book author who wrote popular stories such as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Matilda."
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was written by Roald Dahl.
I think Roald Dahl is using this story to talk about how children are brought up in different families.
