I'm REALLY tempted to reread Matilda now because I'm so tempted to write a mini essay on how Matilda Honey (ugh, FINE, Wormwood 🙄) and Carrie White are two sides of the same coin.
#damn it toby#I know I KNOW Matildas last name is originally Wormwood and ngl it's a badass last name#but Ms Honey was more a parent to her than her own parents that much I remember despite not reading the book for like a good 10+ years#anyway yeah in this essay I will osnwksn#but seriously both had telekinesis both where the 'weird kid' in a sense with a shitty home life#Matilda is the 'good' whereas Carrie is the 'bad' (I don't actually think shes bad tho Carrie had every right to loose it)#both deserved better#I know technically Matilda got a 'happy ending' by being adopted by an actually caring person but like there HAS to still be some trauma#in the sense of 'my parents never wanted me'#im saving this before I ramble more because I have opinions that idk how well I can articulate atm
