In the book Matilda the main characters we meet are Matilda Wormwood, her school teacher Miss Honey, and the headmistress Miss Trunchbull. The story takes place in an old English Village (not specified in the book). The primary conflict is Matilda vs. Miss Trunchbull. Matilda being the protagonist and Miss Trunchbull as the antagonist. The point of view in the story is 3rd Person Omniscient.

Matilda is only 5 years old and she knows how to take care of herself, she taught herself how to read, write, and to solve math problems. Her parents don't see her as some kind of genius or anything. They mostly see her as a pest that lives with them. Being the intelligent girl she is she comes up with a plan to give them a taste of their medicine. She

played these three pranks on her parents, she glued her dad's hat to his head, hid a parrot in their fireplace to act like a ghost or burglar, and dyed her dad's hair blond.
Matilda starts to go to school thanks to her dad.

He sold a car to the headmistress, sadly this car is old and broken down but he made it look brand new. This doesn't help Matilda at all when Miss Trunchbull's car breaks down. Anyways on her first day of school she meets her best friend Lavender and Miss Honey her teacher. Miss Honey quickly learns that Matilda is very intelligent. She later vista the headmistress to ask if Matilda can be moved up to a higher level. Miss Trunchbull is not fond with kids at all, especially Matilda because of her dad. Miss Honey is denied and so she goes to Matilda's parents. Again she is

declined.

Matilda stays in the lowest grade at the school.

Miss Honey found out ways to keep her learning and entertained. Once a week the headmistress goes into each class to review with them. Lavender is in charge of getting a glass and pitcher of water for Miss Trunchbull. Being inspired by Matilda and her pranks, Lavender catches a newt and slips it into the pitcher for the class visit. After Miss Trunchbull discovers the newt and blames it on Matilda. Furious that she was being blamed for something she didn't do she pushed over the glass of water and newt over with her eyes. After class was over Matilda goes to tell Miss Honey about her new power. They go to Miss Honey's little house and talk for a while. Matilda learns that Miss Trunchbull is Miss Honey's aunt. When Miss Honey was younger her dad died and her aunt had to take care of her but she wasn't very nice. She treated Miss Honey like her slave. Matilda wants justice so she comes up with a plan.

At the next class visit Matilda puts her plan to work. After Miss Trunchbull violently disciplines a kid for getting an answer wrong everyone notices that a piece of chalk is floating in the air. It starts to write out “Agatha. Agatha, this is Magnus. It is Magnus, and you'd better believe it. Agatha, give my Jenny back her house. Give my Jenny her wages. Give my Jenny the house then get out of here. IF you don't I will come and get you. I will come and get you like you got me. I am watching you Agatha.” then the chalk just drops

as well as the headmistress. She fainted and gets carried away to be taken care of.

In the end Miss Trunchbull left never to be seen again and Miss Honey got her house, her wages, and everything that rightfully belonged to her. Matilda's dad eventually got caught and the family moved far away. When found out that she had to move she got upset that they were making her move so she ran to Miss Honey's house and told her what happened. Matilda ended up convincing her parents to let her stay with Miss Honey. Both Matilda and Miss Honey got their happy ending.
