** In chapter 13, James' line of "Where's the revenge section?" is a nod to ''Theatre/MatildaTheMusical''.
** In chapter 40, when Wonka tries to telepathically convince Matilda [[spoiler:to let her uncle and bratty cousin burn in the furnace they're heading for]], he tries a chant that gives a slight nod to ''Movie/TheLorax''.

Trope has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and made YMMV. Removing for not fitting the definition.


* AmbiguousDisorder: In a flashback, it's mentioned that Matilda has a disorder. While it's not explicitly stated what disorder she has, a character mentions that she has intense fixations. On top of this, her often blunt nature, as well as her ability to quickly see past [[spoiler:the simulation Wonka tries to put her under]] may indicate that Matilda may potentially be autistic. NOW CONFIRMED BY AUTHOR.



** In spite of Matilda's insistence that it won't happen, James, after going to look for another fellow Wonkarer, Dani, [[spoiler:is captured and turned into a squirrel by Wonka]]. See also IWarnedYou.

* TheCutie: Daisy Bloom, one of the Oompa-Loompas. She's one of the only Oompa-Loompas to actually show Matilda any kindness, including calling her by her first name as opposed to [[spoiler:the Sweet One]], was the only one who even wanted to bring her food, and reveals to her that [[spoiler:her father's not dead as Wonka claimed, as she was unable to kill him when Wonka assigned her to]]. She also mentions that she gets picked on by the others for being too soft, even being unable to give the disobedient squirrels electric shocks during nut room training. Charlie could also fall under this, but moreso under TheWoobie.

** A slight cultural inconsistency is that the bullies in chapter 2 are written with cockney dialect, but no other characters seem to have a particular dialect mentioned.

Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS. Also some other cleanup. Examples are not arguable and example indentation doesn't work like that.


* AbusiveParents:
** Zinnia Prescott who, aside from purposefully calling Matilda by the wrong name, is shallow and readily discourages her daughter's interests. In one chapter, she [[spoiler:destroys a gift that Matilda was excited to get in an attempt to get her to stop thinking]]. She's also shown to be physically and mentally abusive, as in the same chapter, she hits Matilda on the face, leaving a mark, as well as [[spoiler:threatening to send her to the psychiatric ward to make her stop thinking]]. Later on in a flashback, it's discovered that [[spoiler:she discourages her daughter's interests to keep her from trying to meet Wonka, as he wanted to take her as his own child after her husband Dorian shows him Matilda's candy notebook]].

* BalefulPolymorph:
** Happens to [[spoiler:Dani, Sophie, Alfie, James, and Billie into squirrels]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** Matilda, after her mother is abusive towards her, wishes that [[spoiler:she was the daughter of Willy Wonka]] and makes this same wish later on in the story. The wish does end up coming true, but not in the way she wants it to.
* BetrayalByInaction:
** Averted when Matilda [[spoiler:debates whether or not to save her cousin Veruca and Uncle Nigel, which is encouraged telepathically by Wonka until Veruca says the word "please" to which Matilda decides to save them]].

* TheDitz:
** Billie Smith is shown to not be the brightest bulb. James even comments how "there isn't a moment where she isn't either batting her eyes and sucking on a lollipop, putting on makeup, or saying something stupid."
* GenerationXerox:
** Arguably, Veruca takes after Zinnia Prescott, Matilda's mother.
* GiveHimANormalLife:
** When Dorian Prescott decided to [[spoiler:volunteer himself to be Wonka's prisoner in place of Matilda so that she can be a normal kid]]. This, of course, doesn't work out five years after, as the two end up meeting anyway.
* ICantHearYou:
** Grandpa George often mishears what someone else said, repeating a rhyme of what was actually said.

* InnocentProdigy:
** Matilda is clearly very creative, coming up with quality and original candy ideas even at the age of six. A lot of this may stem from her slight sense of naiveté and innocence as ChildrenAreInnocent. Because of this, she ends up managing to [[spoiler:impress Willy Wonka with her notebook of candy ideas. Unfortunately, this backfires on her, as it's why Willy Wonka wants to keep her in his factory]].
* KnockoutAmbush:
** Happens at the end of chapter 29 when Matilda [[spoiler:finds that James and Sophie are being transformed into squirrels. An oompa loompa then gives her a blow to her head]].
* TheReveal:
** Following her flashback in chapter 45, Matilda realizes that [[spoiler:Wonka knew of her way before she had met him. Her father, Dorian, used to work for him in his factory. After showing Mr. Wonka some of her candy ideas when she was six, Wonka demanded to have Matilda as his own. Instead her father comes into work the next day and sacrifices his own freedom in exchange for her to live a normal life.]]
