Matilda and Miss Trunchbull header

Summary A theory about Miss Trunchbull from Matilda adds layers to the character and changes how I look at her role in the film. Played by Pam Ferris, Miss Trunchbull is the most fearsome foe Matilda encounters in the film. She's a brutal educator who has a habit of tormenting her students, either by forcing them into humiliating punishments or just by casually throwing them around. She's a horrifying character and made a huge impression on me as a kid.

Matilda Theory: Trunchbull Was A Villain Due To Steriods Miss Trunchbull's Rage Might Have A Compelling In-Universe Explanation The Matilda theory that Miss Trunchbull's anger issues stem from steroid abuse makes perfect sense and adds a layer of tragedy to the otherwise straightforward villain. In Matilda, Trunchbull is the despotic head mistress of Matilda's school, serving as the primary antagonist of the film.

None of this excuses Miss Trunchbull's actions in the film, especially the insinuation that she murdered Miss Honey's father for his home and wealth. However, it does introduce another layer to the character that fleshes her out. She still clearly takes pride in her physical strength and Olympic experience, given that she's seen exercising and wearing her Olympic apparel decades since she appeared in the games.
