  • Diversifying the Children in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate
    Diversifying the children in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: From Page to Screen by Adrian Schober The plot details of Roald Dahl’s most celebrated children’s tale scarcely need reminding: poor boy Charlie Bucket wins a coveted golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s world-famous chocolate factory. He is accompanied by four other children: Augustus Gloop from West Germany, Veruca Salt from England, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee, both from the US. Each of the children is approached by one of Wonka’s competitors, Slugworth, to smuggle a gobstopper out of the factory. But, one by one, the undeserving brats meets with a sticky end, until Charlie is the only one left standing. Wonka tells him he has forfeited his prize (a lifetime supply of chocolate) because he and Grandpa stole fizzy lifting drinks, which means that this part of the factory will need to be washed and sterilised. By returning the gobstopper which Slugworth so desires, however, Charlie proves himself an honest child to Wonka and therefore fit to inherit his factory and be entrusted with his candy-making secrets. Slugworth turns out to be Wonka’s confederate, and Charlie and his family live happily ever after. Of course, I’m not playing fair. Like L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) is a classic example of a text whose recollection of it has been “contaminated” by the movie. I am referring to the 1971 adaptation, by far “the most influential and famous” of the two movies made of Dahl’s book (Mangan 41).

EXPLORING THE FACTORY: ANALYZING THE FILM ADAPTATIONS OF ROALD DAHL’S CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY by RICHARD B. DAVIS Under the Direction of Pearl McHaney ABSTRACT Film adaptations are becoming more popular and past critics and scholars have discussed films based on dramas and novels. However, few have explored the children’s literature genre. In discussing such a topic, it takes more than just debating whether the novel or book is better. A discussion on what elements have been maintained, removed, or added in such an adaptation has to be made along with its success or failure. With this in mind, Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its two film adaptations will be explored along with an analysis of film adaptation theory to show that the first version of the novel succeeds and the second one fails.
