Tumblr Post: Violet Should've Inherited Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory


The candy-obsessed firecracker should've won it all. Yes, this Tumblr user presents a compelling case for why Violet Beauregarde was robbed of her rightful place as the winner of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Maybe Wonka wanted an impressionable, easily influenced kid instead of a business mind.

Face - evayna Violet Beauregarde should've won Wonka's chocolate factory

Text - Have I watched the movie in the last decade or more? No. Do I have iron clad evidence to support my argument? Yes. 1. She's the most knowledgeable about candy. She's committed to it, and knows her stuff. When Wonka holds up a little yellow piece across the room, she recognizes it immediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal oriented. Also, two major projects play directly into her strong suits: the 3-cour

Text - 2. She's the most fit to run a business. Violet is competitive, determined, hard working, and willing to take risks. Her father is a small town car salesman and politician, so she could easily pick up knowledge and support from him. (Veruca's dad is also a business man, and in a compatible market (nuts), but it's made very clear that Veruca has no respect or knowledge of business practices or hard work.) 3. She's the most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas. She critiques Veruca when Veruca

Text - 4. Her personality 'flaw' is the most fitting for the company. In the moralizing Oompa Loompa song, they just say 'gum is pretty cool, but it's not socially acceptable to chew it all day'. The thing is, we already know that she can stop if she wants, because she already did that to win the golden ticket. And yeah, she is defensive about the perceived impoliteness of her hobby (like when her mother tries to shame her about her habit during a televised interview) but the obsession with cand

Text - 5. Her misstep in the factory is reasonable. Wonka shows everyone a candy he's very proud of. Violet is like "oh sick, that's gum, my special interest." Wonka is then pulls a "WRONG! It's amazing gum!" So in the very moments before she takes the gum Wonka has mislead her just to belittle her. So when he's like "I wouldn't do that" why should she give a shit what he has to say? She's not like Charlie over here who's all "Sure Gramps, let's stay behind while the tour leaves and secretly dri

Text - So Augustus contaminates the chocolate river. Charlie sneaks around and contaminates the vent walls. Veruca destroys and disrupts the workspace. Mike knows exactly what will happen to him and transports/shrinks himself deliberately. Violet had no idea what the gum could potentially do to her, and caused no harm to anyone or anything but herself. Lastly: Can you imagine Charlie filling Wonka's shoes? That passive, naive boy? Violet is already basically Wonka. She's passionate, sarcastic, c
