You donât realize how dark Roald Dahl actually was until youâre trying to explain Matilda to someone who hasnât read/seen it and youâre like, âOh, yeah, itâs this really cute story about a girl with abusive parents, and she goes to a school where the headmistress is torturing students, so she uses her telekinetic powers to get revenge and the headmistress thinks that sheâs being haunted by the ghost of the man that she had killed, a death which the police ruled a suicide.â
