Roald Dahl's Positive Heroes: When Kindness Becomes a WeaponRoald Dahl's world often seems cruel and absurd. The adults in his books are either villains or spineless fools. But precisely because of this, the bright, positive characters shine so brightly. They are not just heroes; they are bearers of Dahl's main idea: being kind is not weakness, but strength.

He speaks humorously, is embarrassed by his illiteracy, ...
