       and "the Corpse Bride," and Looks Back on His 20 Years of Collaboration with Tim Burton." Film Score Monthly, vol. 10, no. 4, 2005,         pp. 32-39. ProQuest, https://search-proquest-com.qe2a-proxy.mun.ca/docview/1534025?accountid=12378.

  • Danny Elfman is the composer of the soundtrack for the latest Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). In this interview, he talks about how he wrote each song for the kids during their punishment. He discusses how he tried to portray the moral lessons of each child's immature behaviour through song. This interview will aid in discussing each child's depiction of the 7 deadly sins.

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Four Rotten Children.” YouTube, uploaded by Willy 

       Wonka, 30 May. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=zslNn8Cd0-A

  • This clip from the 2005 film of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory introduces each child with a negative trait in the movie. I will link these negative traits described to the 7 deadly sins.

       Knopf, 1964. Print.

  • Including the original text of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will allow me to use direct quotes to explain my themes. The quotes will allow readers to understand my themes, without having read the whole book themselves

       Factory’ by Roald Dahl.” Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran Khatulistiwa, vol. 3, no. 6, 2014, pp. 130-150.

  • This article discusses the moral values in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The author breaks it down into 3 types of values; religious, individual and moral. I will focus on the religious values. She discusses values that are shared between the book and the bible such as love and fortitude, as well as undesired values such as envy, ungratefulness, and impenitence. This article will be of great use to me in exploring how the moral lessons in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory relate to religious values.

  • This page was written from the perspective of a christian. They dive into themes of religion in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Their focus is on symbolism of christianity throughout the novel. I will use this article to aid readers in understanding a christian point of view.

Hissan, Wan S. “An Analysis of the Children’s Characters in Roald Dahl’s Novel: Charlie and the 

       Chocolate Factory.” Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, vol. 2, no. 1, 2012, pp. 83-92.

  • This article describes the effects seen from literature with moral lessons on children, using the example of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It also gives insight on each character in the novel, and how they each demonstrate a behaviour which is considered wrong. This article will be a good reference for me to connect to the 7 deadly sins given in the Bible, as it describes each character’s “sin” in depth.

       Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.” Routledge, edited by Kara K. Keeling, and Scott T. Pollard, 2009, pp. 221-234.

  • Kachur discusses the significance of food in the Judeo-Christian Religions. He also relates the fall of Augustus Gloop drinking the forbidden chocolate river to Adam and Eve, a theme in which I will discuss on my website. He also connects the Oompa Loompas to Gods angels. The connections he makes between the novel and Religion will be useful for my website.

       Religion and Popular Culture, vol. 8, 2004, usask.ca/relst/jrpc/art8-cinematicchrist-print.html[29/09/2010

  • This Article discusses how in many films/TV shows, there is a character who depicts Christ or God. This is true for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with the God-figure being Willy Wonka. There are multiple occasions on which he “plays God” in some way. This article will aid in describing how Wonka is like the God of the Bible.

“Lust.” Lexico. 2020. https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/lust

  • One of the 7 deadly sins, which are a main theme I will discuss in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is lust. This is mostly interpreted as sexual lust, but this definition states it is also simply a strong desire or longing for something. In the case of the novel/film, lust is portrayed through a desire for something, not of sexual nature. This definition will aid in the reader's understanding of the comparison of the 7 deadly sins and the characters in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

       and the Chocolate Factory. 2012. U of Florida, Honors Senior Thesis. ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00059810/00001. Accessed 5 February 2020.

  • This Thesis describes Dahl's relationship with religion growing up, and how there are examples of religious themes in many of his other works. He discusses how Willy Wonka can be seen as God, and how each child represents a deadly sin, or level of Inferno. This will aid in my explanation as he covers most of the themes I will discuss in my website.

  • Sparknotes gives helpful insight on specific literary devices such as theme, symbols, motifs, and characters. The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sparknotes page will aid in the discussion of the moral lessons, as well as how the characters relate to the 7 deadly sins.

  • This Article describes the story of Adam and Eve in the bible. It also discusses its significance and effects on Judeo-Christian Religions. This story will be useful in my website as I will relate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to it.

  • This newspaper article discusses our “new vision” of God and the Bible in popular culture. It gives examples of how we absorb morals, whether good or bad, from the media. This will aid in my website to explain how Willy-Wonka is a modern portrayal of God, and how we absorb subtextual religious teachings through popular culture.

Thacker, Deborah. “Fairy Tale and Anti-Fairy Tale: Roald Dahl and the Telling Power of Stories” 

       Roald Dahl, edited by Ann Alston and Catherine Butler, palgrave macmillan, 2010, pp. 14-30.

  • This book analyzes the moral lessons given throughout Charlie and the chocolate factory, and the question of whether each child deserved the cruel fate that they faced. In my website, I will relate these moral lessons to those of the bible, as well as explore the idea of punishment for evil and reward for the good.

The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica. “Seven deadly sins.” Encyclopædia Britannica. 

       Encyclopædia Britannica, inc. 2019, https://www.britannica.com/topic/seven-deadly-sins, Accessed 6 February 2020.

  • The seven deadly sins is a theme I will be discussing in my website. Therefore, describing what they are to readers who may not know is important. This source will help me do that to get my points across.

The Holy Bible: New International Version. Zondervan, 1984.

  • The Bible will be a useful source for my website as I will be discussing Judeo-Christian themes. The bible is the root of these religions, and describes stories that I will make reference to on the website. These stories include the garden of eden, Exodus and the explanation of the 7 deadly sins.

Valle, Laura V. De-constructing Dahl. Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016.

  • This book distinguishes the good and evil characters in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Good vs Evil is a theme that I will be exploring and relating to Judeo-Christian values.

       Movieclips.” Youtube, uploaded by Movieclips, 29 Dec. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EF1zYFHbus

  • This clip from the 1971 film adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory shows the fate of Augustus Gloop, one of the kids with the negative traits I will link to the 7 deadly sins. The oompa loompas sing a song at the end with quotes that resemble bible verses.

  • This famous song from the 1971 film of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sung by Gene Wilder portrays the God-image of Willy Wonka. The scene also resembles that of The story of the garden of Eden in the Bible. I will discuss these two themes on my website.

Wood, Naomi. "Introduction: Children's Literature and Religion." Children's Literature Association 

       Quarterly, vol. 24 no. 1, 1999, muse-jhu-edu.qe2a-proxy.mun.ca/article/249712

  • This article gives insight on why religious themes are often included in children's literature, as well as its origins. It discusses the effort to influence the morals and world views of children through lessons in books. This will be useful for me as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tends to do this. The difference between good and evil, as well as a model for moral behaviour is portrayed throughout the novel. The article relates these lessons to the teachings of the bible.
