However, if you're looking for a character who embodies strength, resilience, and a defiant spirit against injustice, Matilda Wormwood from "Matilda" might be a strong contender.
Here's why:
* Clever and resourceful: Matilda uses her intellect to outsmart her neglectful parents and tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.
* Kind and empathetic: Despite facing hardship, Matilda shows compassion for others, particularly her classmates who suffer under Miss Trunchbull's reign.
* Standing up for what's right: Matilda fights for justice and ultimately triumphs over injustice, proving that even the smallest and most vulnerable can be powerful.
While other characters like Charlie Bucket from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" or James from "James and the Giant Peach" also exhibit admirable qualities, Matilda's combination of intelligence, bravery, and kindness makes her a compelling champion in the world of Roald Dahl.
