Mr. Wormwood is a "small ratty looking man" with buck teeth who continuously wears loud checkered jackets and ties that were normally yellow or green. He works with crooks, he hates books and forbids Matilda to read them, he is greedy and likes Michael. With Matilda, his abuse has been ripping pages out of books, calling her names, and forcing her to watch television. He seems to be quite happy with his shady used car business.Mr. Wormwood is an exaggeration of the scheming used-car salesman stereotype. He grooms his son Michael to eventually join the business. An example of a particular day includes buying one car for 118 dollars and selling it for 760 dollars, such that during the entire day, he made $4303.50.
Tricks played on him by matilda
Matilda has played numerous tricks on Mr. Wormwood. First, he put on a hat with superglue on it and had to have it cut off the next day by Mrs. Wormwood. Next, she stuck Fred'sparrot, Chopper, up the chimney, which scared Mr. Wormwood so much that it made him turn gray in the face. Finally, she caused him to put platinum blond hair dye on his hair instead of his Oil of Violets Hair tonic. Although after these tricks, he refuses to regret what he has done.
