New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
I read a lot of Roald Dahl books as a child, and have read quite a few more to my own children, most recently to my disabled youngest daughter. The Twits was one of those.The Twits, although it has its moments, is one of my least favourite Dahl books, perhaps the least favourite.It's easy to be too po-faced about humour in children's books, and perhaps my reaction is coloured by the knowledge that Dahl was not a particularly pleasant man and had some rather nasty opinions ... but even so, my reaction predates knowledge of his anti-Semitic views and other prejudices. And other of his books have not struck a sour chord with me in the same way.The book opens with a rather strange tirade against men with beards. But fair enough, it's just a fashion choice. What I found far less palatable as something being channeled into the heads of children was the assertion that ugly people are evil (have ugly thoughts). This is basically an extension of medieval thinking to the end that bad things happen to bad people and if misfortune befalls someone it's safe to assume that they had it coming.He says that if a person thinks good thoughts it will "shine through" and even if they have features that are technically ugly we will see just by looking that they are a nice person. This is of course bollocks, and not just that, it's dangerous bollocks, and should not be told to children. The idea that someone who looks ugly to us is ugly inside too is sufficient reason on its own to cast this book aside.A fuller discussion can be found here: http://mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2...Moving on.The rest of the book comprises two unpleasant people being unpleasant to each other in not particularly humorous ways, followed by the addition of monkeys and a magical bird who then outwit …

Unfortunately, I don't have any rose-tinted glasses for this one. So, as an adult, all I could think of is, "Dahl, what were you on??" Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And, now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever. The Twits are ugly people - through and through. They think nothing of animal neglect or outright abuse. They are horrible to each other and everyone around them. They own a troop of trained monkeys and take particular delight in forcing the poor animals into doing difficult (and painful) tricks. Well, the final straw landed on the camel's back (so to speak). The monkeys are fed up. They (along with a few friends) seek revenge through creative and inventive methods.Much like The Magic Finger, the character's vengeance is swift, clever and almost disproportionately brutal. And while it was cute because the animals were inventive and the evil folks certainly got their comeuppance, it still had me raising my eyebrows. Kids books were so not PG back in the day.I did, however, enjoy Dahl's level of pettiness. In real life, he hated beards. Thought them dirty and nasty. So, when he really wanted to convey just how disgusting the Twits were, he would throw in details like this: By sticking out his tongue and curling it sideways to explore the hairy jungle around his mouth, he was always able to find a tasty morsel here and there to nibble on.

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” I do love this quote. The Twits are the epitome of nastiness and everything a person shouldn’t be. They are vile and small, silly little people that enjoy inflicting pain on others for no reason other than their own amusement.So in typical Roald Dahl fashion they get exactly what is coming to them. They may be caricatures, though they are a very good example to children about why we should never hate. Even though they are horrible, hating them is the wrong thing to do because we are just as bad as them. Toxic people should be removed from our lives. There’s no point hating them, just walk away from them like the animals attempt to do here.That being said, why does Roald Dahl hate beards so much? You'd think he'd heed his own words.
