Matilda character sketch
Answers
- Matilda Wormwood is a brave and confident little girl with the power of telekinesis, a power that moves objects and floats them in the air with her eyes.
- She is a smart little girl who educated herself. Unfortunately, she does not receive support from her family.
Matilda is shown to be a kind and caring girl who loves her friends. Unlike her family, she is very polite, but does become a bit scared when it comes to Miss Trunchbull (which she overcomes later on). She loves Miss Honey more than her parents and her brother Michael. She is also shown to be trustworthy, as seen when she does not reveal that it was her friend Lavender who put the newt (which Miss Trunchbull calls a "snake") in the water pitcher, and Lavender thanks her for that.
She is also seen taking good care of things; this is seen when her dad destroys the Moby D!ck book she had just borrowed from the library. She desperately attempts to stop him by saying it's not hers, but despite her great effort, it is still destroyed.
In the musical, she has a strong sense of justice and believes in taking action.
