There was a certain level of lawlessness as to how they did it - as you can expect from Roald Dahl - but it’s not only self defence, it’s protection of every other child.

@frozen-mint-peas Both of them were still suffering from the abuse right until the end. Miss Honey was being financially and emotionally manipulated (both forms of abuse) and potentially physically. Matilda was still being neglected and bullied, and let’s not forget that Agatha Trunchbull was a headteacher until they scared her away. She literally put children in a cupboard of rusty nails and broken glass (and threw a girl over the fence.) @meganspoetry does it still count as self defence days, weeks or years after the attack? Because a lot of the “defence”...

@frozen-mint-peas You can’t equate defence against your abuser to original and unprovoked abusive actions. Holding Miss Honey’s head under the bath water, controlling her finances & stealing her inheritance was abuse; pretending to be Miss Honey’s dad in order to reclaim the stolen inheritance was an act of defence. Not the same thing.

Roald Dahl in general is A*.
