Afterwards, Wonka invites Charlie's family to come live with him in the factory, and they do. Dahl’s widow said that Charlie was originally written as 'a little black boy.' Dahl’s biographer said the change to a white character was driven by Dahl’s agent, who thought a black Charlie would not appeal to readers. In the first

It was a combination of this secrecy and the elaborate, often gigantic, machines in the factory that inspired Dahl to write the story. 11-year-old Charlie Bucket lives in poverty in a small house with his parents and four grandparents. His grandparents share the only bed in the house, located in the only bedroom. Charlie and his parents sleep on mattresses on the floor.
