Matilda by Roald Dahl is one of the famous children’s novels in which we can see ‘family’ as a main theme.
Matilda Wormwood is a gifted girl with unpleasant parents. Matilda’s family is a nuclear family. Mr. Wormwood is the father who is a dishonest car salesman. He is the breadwinner and the one who takes decisions in the family. His words are final. Mrs. Wormwood, Matilda’s mother is a homemaker who always obeys and supports her husband in everything. She also has a brother named Michael.

Mr. Wormwood’s family is not ordinary, it is a typical nuclear family with all types of conventional notions. Matilda’s parents have a total disregard and even disdain for one of their children-Matilda. The riots between a father who ridicules his daughter and a daughter who is clever and exacts revenge on him represent a dysfunctional family system. Matilda is a brilliant girl who loves to read and study. But her parents are against her reading, and they never wanted to educate Matilda as she is the girl child in the family. For them, knowledge and education are not valued, and nurturing Matilda is a waste of time. They think that she should read less and watch television more. At the same time, they regularly try to prepare Matilda’s brother, Michael, to follow Mr. Wormwood and get into the car salesman business.
When she looks at other children's parents, they are loving and caring, giving attention to their children and supporting them. But for her, she doesn't find any of the qualities in her parents that make her disappointed. Since her parents don’t pay much attention to her, Matilda decides to punish her parents for the way they treat her. She hopes that it will make them less selfish and mean. Unfortunately, none of these pranks has a lasting effect on her parents, but they help only to train Matilda to deal with bullies.
