Matilda


Mr Wormwood thinks Matilda is annoying, a pest and stupid
Some examples from the book are:
"That's because you're a stupid little girl," her father said. He said this when Matilda said that he was not being honest to his customers.
"Shut up!"shouted her father. He said this when Matilda made fun of his hat getting stuck on his head.

Matilda thinks her father is a liar, bad and hateful.
Some quotes from the book that show this are:
"But that's not honest, daddy," said Matilda. She said this when her father was telling the family about selling stolen cars to his customers.
"And what's wrong with watching the TV?" her father said. His voice was suddenly soft and dangerous. He said this when Matilda asked her parents if she could eat her supper in the dining room so that she could read her book. This quote shows that Matilda doesn't agree with the way her parents bring her up.
After that Matilda was too angry to reply.
