The fact that the headmaster of his school could so savagely cane young boys

and at the same time, in his capacity as vicar, preached of the Lamb of God,

mercy and forgiveness was completely incomprehensible to young Roald.

It made him wonder whether the servants of God preached one thing

while practicing the other and caused him to have doubts about religion

and even about God.

How does Roald Dahl present The Headmaster of Repton In Boy?

In The Chapter 'The Headmaster', the Headmaster is presented as a mean but holy character. The once dreaded master, became a bishop.. Then Archbishop of Canterbury! Also the Headmaster was a VERY hypocritical person, he would always preach about God and forgiviness of sins and mercy, but then he would cane the pupils at Repton if they did anything bad.. It almost seems two-faced. The Headmaster is pitiless... Well thats what I Think! When the Headmaster was beating Roald Dahls best friend at Repton- Micheal, he didnt care about what he was doing. He had the thin,yellow,scary cane in one hand and pipe that he was trying to light in the other! It was just like a profeesional golf player , swinging the club freely in one hand... and texting on his phone whilst hitting the golf ball ... Miles ! Also hes a very sadistic man... and very un-predictable! You dont know what he would do to you when he beats you! Yes i know hes whipping a cane again your bottom but how hard and what way! One handed? Three fingers? Both hands (uh oh!). This Headmaster is not like your usual Headmaster! When Roald Dahl went to St. Peters, the Headmaster there was NOTHING like The Headmaster at Repton. When you were called for a beating at St.Peters... You knew what you where in for! When the Headmaster beated you at St.P's he did it two-handed, like a baseball player waiting to hit the baseball and seriously hard so that if you wernt trying to stay bended , you'd be flying across the room!
