In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dalh uses the 7 deadly sins to symbolize the main characters of the 1964 book. Willy Wonka organizes a competition where five children find a golden ticket in a candy bar can enter their factory, take a tour and win a prize at the end. The Seven Deadly Sins represent seven of the main characters. The seven deadly sins are lust, gluttony, greed, pride, anger, sloth and envy. Throughout my article you will see how each is represented. Willy Wonka is the main owner of the chocolate factory, no one has gone inside and one day he decides to organize a competition in which 5 children are chosen to enter the factory with an adult and win a prize at the END. While the children are at the factory, they notice that Willy Wonka seems unusual sometimes. He has flashbacks at random times that stop him in his place and the way his factory is run by the Oompa-Loompas is weird to the adults and they think there is something seriously wrong with him. Each child makes a mistake throughout the journey and must be sent to a certain room to be fixed. Charlie Bucket and his grandfather are the first to make a mistake, they drink soft drinks, but he and his grandfather solve it themselves. In the end, Willy Wonka is very angry and Charlie doesn't get the award because Willy Wonka learned about the mistake they made and said they didn't deserve it. Willy Wonka says, “You get nothing, you lose, hello sir!” » Then Charlie hands Willy Wonka a gobstopper, he tells Charlie that he now won the prize because he was the only kid not to eat the gobstopper and he gave it back to him. Willy Wonka symbolizes anger at the end of the story because of what he did to Charlie when he got angry and yelled. Augustus Gloop is a very bi...... middle of paper ...... with the golden eggs she wants one and her father offers Willy Wonka as much money as he wants, Willy Wonka says they are not for sale and Veruca becomes very angry. After complaining, she sits on a table where eggs are placed to see if they are good or bad and she is chosen as the bad egg and is sent to the dumpster. All of this symbolizes greed. Mike Teavee is a young boy who sits in front of the television all day and plays video games about cowboys and Indians. When he appears on the news, his mother even brags that he has never eaten at the table and that she serves every dinner in front of the television. Nike symbolizes laziness because he does nothing but sit in front of the TV. While in the factory's TV room, Mike chooses to be sent into the air and then appears on the TV screen. Mike can't seem to get away from television in any form..
