Roald Dahl
1964
Children's Literature
Fantasy
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is narrated from a third-person limited omniscient point of view with a focus on Charlie's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. However, there are occasional shifts into first- and second-person narration, which adds an intimate quality to the narrative.
Except for the very beginning of Chapter 1, when the narrator introduces the characters, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is told in the past tense.
The title references the protagonist Charlie Bucket, a child from a poor family who wins one of five tickets to spend a day at a fabulous chocolate factory in his town. It contrasts with the title of the final chapter "Charlie's Chocolate Factory," suggesting a different relationship between Charlie and the chocolate factory—ownership.
