** Made even more explicit later, when Matilda {{spoiler|uses her telekinetic powers to write on the blackboard, pretending to be the ghost of Miss Honey's father: "[...] or I will come and get you... like you got me." Trunchbull is appropriately terrified, and the illustration shows her reflexively grasping at her throat.}}
* Captain Lancaster in ''[[Danny the Champion of The World]]'' is a more realistic example. He's obviously based on one of Roald Dahl's actual teachers, Captain Hardcastle, described in his autobiography ''Boy''.
Line 148:
* The principal, [[Meaningful Name|Mr. Payne]] in ''The Year My Parents Ruined My Life'' is an asshole in general, biased against the protagonist because he crashed into her parents' car (and is now ''faking a neck injury'') and is, oh yeah, racist. Which he does not make a secret about, in regards to one of the fourth-grade protagonist's friends, a Japanese-American girl.
* The title character in ''The Piano Teacher'' was a very extreme version of this trope, and (although still rather traumatising) appears pretty tame by comparison in Michael Haneke's [[The Film of the Book|film adaption]]. No examples will be given for the sakes of haemophobes and the highly disturbing habits Erika pursues on a daily basis.
