The climax occurs when Matilda uses her telekinetic powers to write upon the blackboard and threaten Truchbull, who proceeds to faint as a result.

The main conflict is man -vs- man (girl -vs- woman) between Matilda and Miss Trunchbull, who attempts to oppress her natural intelligence and is a bully.
