All of the kids represent a deadly sin. Veruca is greed, Mike Teevee sloth, Violet is pride, Augustus gluttony, and Charlie envy.
They all have a version of consciousness that tries to help them being their guardian; some more vocal then others.
They all magically or “by chance” get a ticket to see a person that no one has seen before even though owning a factory in a rather large town.
So in this Willy Wonka represents the devil of sorts always temping and never really preventing the pitfalls the children encounter. The oompa lumpas are the demons that just do Mr. Wonka bidding also never helping the children really. We never see the kids again after their outcomes and left to know nothing of them and Wonka only really talks about the torture the kids will go through to get out of the factory.
Each kids is put against their greatest weakness; gum chocolate, gold, being on tv or in tv, and then Charlie who will end up getting money and not being poor any longer. The only one that overcomes this is Charlie bucket who gets everything he ever dreams of, after being whisked away into the sky and essentially given a ticket to “Heaven.”
I have never read the book so this is just interesting about the original movie, or the only movie; did they remake it?????? Nah don’t think they did.
