Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -She’s supposed to be responsible for the moral and scholarly education of an entire school, but all she does is terrorize the students and the teachers. The Trunchbull is a nightmarish version of your everyday principal. She’s got authority and she totally misuses it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Matilda Wormwood, also known by her adoptive name Matilda Honey, is the title character of the bestselling 1988 children’s novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. She is a highly precocious five and a half (six and a half in the 1996 film) year old girl who has a passion for reading books.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main conflict, or problem, in Matilda is that most of the adults are cruel to the children throughout the novel. This is solved in the end when the Wormwoods allow Matilda to live with Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull leaves after her ‘’encounter” with her brother Magnus.

Detailed explanation-4: -She’s brilliant, resilient, creative, and kind, despite growing up in difficult circumstances. Her parents treat her poorly, but Matilda escapes into a world of books, which puts her reading level far above the other children in her class, and she develops a bit of magical power in an effort to defeat Trunchbull.
