Grandpa Joe lets his daughter slave away, working like 4 jobs just to keep him alive in his comfy little bed, whilst falsely claiming that he unable to do anything. “Look at me. Up and about. I havent done this in twenty years. The narrator says When he realizes the ticket is real, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed, yells yippee and begins dancing. When they agree he can go, he dances again.... that lying bastard. Only once he gets the chance to go on this magical chocolate adventure does he get up? And start dancing? Oh but helping your daughter with the cooking or the cleaning after she comes home from working so hard just for enough to survive isnt a reason to get up? You make me sick Joe. I think we are all in agreement that it should have been you who was sucked up the chocolate pipe or turned into a blueberry. Im actually pretty upset that you didnt fall off that crazy boat ride. I havent even analysed the terrible role model he is to Charlie yet, encouraging him to buy just one more chocolate bar (3.4 million deaths each year due to obesity), and encouraging him also to burp as they fly away after having stolen that drink without the factory owners consent: Grandpa Joe: “Charlie, burp burp!... Burp again!... Thats wonderful Charlie!”... And you may think that as the Bucket family are fairly poor and have had nothing but cabbage soup in forever, Grandpa Joe would have learnt to be caring of others and would never dream of being selfish... Grandpa Joe: “One?! Im counting on you to find all five!” (Charlies mother replies very modestly to this selfish comment:) Mrs. Bucket: “Its not fair to raise his hopes.” Grandpa Joe: “Never mind. Open it Charlie, I want to see that gold!” It almost seems as if the only desires of Grandpa Joe are for his own personal wealth and gain, and he couldnt care less about the other family members or possibly selling his ticket and donating the money from it to poor families like himself who are struggling every single day to survive. No, all he cares about is his chocolate. Joe does not even seem to care for the terrible accidents that occurred to the other young innocent children during the tour of the chocolate factory. In fact, when he watches the other children leaving the factory after having been rejected from the chance to live there from that magical flying glass elevator, does he feel upset by the fact that these other children have been terribly scarred for life and in many cases, mutilated and left disabled and at the risk of years of ridicule and humility? No, Joe lets out a little evil smile... it may seem harmful to the average viewer, but this smile is more. He knows his plan has worked. He could not care less for anyone but himself, even his dear grandson. It was not even chocolate that he was always after, but pain.
