What I really love about Roald Dahl’s books is that the villains really didn’t have any tragic backstory or any redeemable qualities or character development.

Like I admire authors who develop their villains and show all of the aforementioned things, proving that we’re all human, and all of that.

But I just really love the fact that Roald Dahl was like, “You know what? Some people are just assholes.”
