Miss Agatha Trunchbull, also known simply as "the Trunchbull", is the fictional headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School (Crunchem Hall Elementary School in the 1996 film) and main antagonist in Roald Dahl's book, ''Matilda'', said to look "more like an eccentric and rather bloodthirsty follower of the stag-hounds than the headmistress of a nice school for children." She is a harsh, cruel educator and tyrant, and this, together with Matilda's unfair treatment from her parents, is perhaps why the book has remained popular among children, as something that the reader may be able to relate to. ==Bio== Agatha Trunchbull is depicted as being a brawny, muscular 48 years old (by actor birthday) woman serving as the remorseless headmistress of Matilda's school, feared by pupils and staff alike, notorious for her wildly excessive and idiosyncratic discipline: trivial misdeeds (including simply wearing pigtails) incurring punishments up to potentially fatal physical discipline. She denies ever having been a child herself, her hatred of them is so great. She is revealed to be the aunt of Matilda's sweet-natured kindergarten teacher Miss Honey. Miss Trunchbull served as Miss Honey's childhood guardian after the passing of her father Magnus. (Miss Honey's exposure to Trunchbull's abuse as a little girl rendered her quite soft-spoken and timid.) Out of adoration for her schoolteacher, Matilda used her telekinetic abilities to drive Miss Trunchbull from her own house one day by posing as Magnus's spirit and levitating a chalk stick to scrawl a message on the board. Miss Trunchbull was terrified. She subsequently vanished, and gave back her house to her niece. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://uk.matildathemusical.com )〕 Matilda the Musical is now in progress. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miss Trunchbull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
