Mr. and Mrs. Salt are supporting characters in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Their "Good" Ranking[]
Debated Validations[]
- Mr. Salt likely has bias against women because we only see women working in his factory.
Their "Heroic" Deeds[]
- They care about their daughter Veruca as they always give her what she wants.
- They get her the golden ticket so that she can enter the Chocolate Factory.
- They correct Willy Wonka on his informality.
- They try to save Veruca after she fell down the garbage chute.
- They learn their lesson to not spoil her anymore at the end of the story.
Why They Aren't Actually Heroic?[]
- Their best and only "heroic" thing they did is jumping to save Veruca when she fell down the garbage chute, which is the thing that even villains would do to save their child.
- They constantly spoil their daughter Veruca which is the reason why she is so bratty.
- Although debatable if their conditions are bad, they still had a bunch of Peanut factory workers dig into chocolate bars for a golden ticket just to spoil their daughter, so they are cheaters.
