Matilde
(Roald Dahl)
In reality, the four year old little girls live, almost always, in families full of affection with loving mothers and fathers that are favouring the education and the physical and psychological growth of their children, with a balanced combination of cuddles and corrections. In Matilda?s life, the little girl in Roald?s Dahl novel, is a hostile and absent family, caught by their routine of work and watching television. Her father becomes rich by stealing from his clients; her mother is spending her time and energy in front of TV and playing Bingo. In this situation and atmosphere, Matilda is dedicating herself to reading and this way it gives her life a sense and a meaning. The story wants to show how the knowledge and the love of learning can be instruments of salvation in a world more oriented on substituting the culture with the materialism.
In Matilda?s case, her superior capacity of learning and understanding enables her to confront and neutralize the evil represented by the mean school director and help the positive represented by her young teacher. The adventures that she goes through, it?s either her family or the school, turn out in her favour. There are arrogant people who conceive life a continue fight to have more and more, losing the meaning of feelings and the respecting of human being?
