Matilda’s transformation from a neglected child to a confident individual who uses her intelligence and abilities to confront her challenges exemplifies the theme of empowerment in the story.

Solución

In “Matilda” by Roald Dahl, one significant character change occurs with Matilda herself. Initially, she is a misunderstood and neglected child, living in a hostile environment with her neglectful parents. As the story progresses, Matilda discovers her extraordinary intelligence and telekinetic abilities, which empower her to stand up against the injustices she faces.
This transformation highlights the theme of empowerment and the importance of using one’s abilities to overcome adversity. Matilda’s growth from a passive victim to an active agent of change illustrates that intelligence and courage can triumph over cruelty and ignorance.

Beyond the Answer

One of the most striking character changes in “Matilda” is the transformation of Miss Trunchbull, the tyrannical headmistress. Initially, she embodies everything oppressive and cruel in the adult world, but as Matilda’s special abilities manifest, the once-feared Trunchbull begins to unravel. This shift emphasizes how the empowerment of a young, intelligent girl can challenge and dismantle tyranny, showcasing the theme of bravery and justice against bullying.
Matilda herself undergoes significant growth throughout the story, evolving from a neglected and misunderstood child into a confident and assertive young girl who uses her intelligence and powers to confront her oppressors. This character arc illustrates the power of knowledge and self-awareness in overcoming obstacles, reinforcing the theme that even the smallest person can make a big difference when standing up for what is right.

As more U.S. women have worked outside the home, the division of responsibility for work and family has changed in three ways: (1) U.S. husbands are taking increased responsibility for maintaining the home; (2) U.S. women are taking increased responsibility for breadwinning; (3) U.S. men are showing greater interest in their families and parenting.
