The Fiction Circus explains "The chapter was cut because it implies that Willy Wonka is a cannibal, and that he feeds children to their enemies, just like Polynesian islanders and Titus Andronicus." This enrages the Pikers, who set out to sabotage the machine. This chapter includes a humorless, smug girl (Miranda Piker) and her equally humorless father (a schoolmaster) who disappear into the Spotty Powder room - where a candy is made that makes red, pox-like spots appear on the children's faces and necks making it look like chicken-pox/measles, so they won't have to go to school. In 2005, The London Times revealed an "ugly boy" chapter - titled "Spotty Powder" - had been found in Dahl's desk, written backwards in mirror-script (the way Da Vinci wrote in his journal). The Fiction Circus reports: "Evidently, Roald Dahl didn't just kill four children in the original version of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' Evidently he killed hundreds! For the sake of time and sales, his editor forced him to take out several murdered children, especially the British ones, sticking with two Americans, an aristocrat, and a German." Together they go to Charlie's house in the glass elevator and take the whole family back to the chocolate factory to live out the rest of their lives.Īs "lost chapters" recently found reveal, in unpublished drafts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory far more than five children got the golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka's secret chocolate factory, far more than four were eliminated, and the children faced more rooms and more temptations to test their self-control. Wonka had distributed the Golden Tickets to find an heir, and Charlie was the only one who passed the test. The remaining visitors travel via Great Glass Elevator to the Television Room, where Mike accidentally shrinks himself to a few inches tall using a teleporter Wonka invented, and is the last to be eliminated from the tour.Ĭharlie, being the last child left, wins the prize - the factory itself. Likewise with her parents, who go in to rescue her. Veruca, seeing squirrels inside, demands one from Wonka, but when she is refused, she invades the Nut Room, where the squirrels attack her, judge her a bad nut and throw her down the garbage chute.

After an exhausting jog down a series of corridors, Wonka allows his guests to rest outside of the Nut Room, but refuses them entry. They are soon taken to the Inventing Room, where Violet chews a piece of experimental gum, and blows up into a blueberry she is the second child removed from the tour. While there, Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up by a pipe and eliminated from the tour. The children, once in the factory, are taken to the Chocolate Room, where they are introduced to Oompa Loompas, from Loompaland, who have been helping Wonka at the factory. Eventually, Charlie finds a ticket of his own. From greedy and gluttonous Augustus Gloop and spoiled Veruca Salt to gum-obsessed Violet Beauregarde and television-obsessed Mike Teavee. Charlie longs for chocolate to satisfy his hunger and to find a Golden Ticket himself, but his chances are slim (his father has recently lost his job, leaving the family all but destitute) and word on the discovery of the tickets keeps appearing in various articles read by the Bucket family. Soon after, an article in the newspaper reveals that Willy Wonka has hidden five Golden Tickets in five Wonka Bars all over the world. His Grandpa Joe often tells him stories about Wonka and his mysterious chocolate factory, how it had been shuttered for years, and how it inexplicably re-opened and resumed candy production without any evidence of employees. Charlie is fascinated by the universally-celebrated chocolate factory located in his hometown owned by famous chocolatier Willy Wonka. Charlie Bucket lives in poverty with his parents and four grandparents in a dilapidated, tiny house.
