Dahl. The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of
eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.

The plot of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is simple plot.

1. Situation

The story begins by introducing Charlie and his family all live together in a tiny house.
They don't have enough to eat, but they have plenty of love (p. 1). One day, Mr. Willy Wonka,
the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has decided to open the doors
of his factory to five lucky children and their parents. In order to choose who will enter the
factory, Mr. Wonka devises a plan to hide five golden tickets beneath the wrappers of his famous
chocolate bars (p. 14).

2. Complication

The search for the five golden tickets is fast and furious. Augustus Gloop, a corpulent
child whose only hobby is eating, unwraps the first ticket, for which his town throws him a
parade (p. 16). Veruca Salt, an insufferable brat, receives the next ticket from her father, who had
employed his entire factory of peanut shellers to unwrap chocolate bars until they found a ticket
(p. 17). Violet Beauregarde discovers the third ticket while taking a break from setting a world
record in gum chewing. The fourth ticket goes to Mike Teavee, who, as his name implies, cares
only about television (p. 22) . Charlie Bucket, the unsuspecting hero of the novel, defies all odds
in claiming the fifth and final ticket (p. 30).

things. Augustus suffers for his greed in the factory: while sucking from the chocolate river, he
falls in and is sucked up by one of the super pipes (p. 44). Violet eagerly chews the gum and
turns into a giant blueberry (p. 55-58). Veruca demands to own one of Wonkas trained squirrels,
but when she marches in to claim it, it deems her a bad nut and sends her down the garbage
chute (67-69). Mike wants nothing more than to check out the chocolate television room. Once
there he spies the opportunity to be on television himself. Without regard for his own safety, he
engineers a filming of himself and ends up shrinking down to a couple of inches (p. 79-81).

4. Denouement

Wonka had distributed the Golden Tickets to find an heir, and Charlie was the only one who

been another contest, the prize for which is the entire chocolate factory, which Charlie has just
won (p. 85-86).

5. Resolution

through the roof of the factory and crashes down through the roof of Charlies house, where they
