What We Think

Roald Dahl’s "The Twits" is blissfully un-woke, delivering mischief and satire without modern ideological baggage. This is one of those rare, mischievous classics where the only agenda is fun at the expense of nasty characters. A breath of fresh, non-woke air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Twits" sticks to its story of two hilariously nasty adults tormenting each other and animals. There's no apparent focus on modern identity politics or forced representation, just old-fashioned storytelling with classic Roald Dahl oddball humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book gleefully mocks its adult characters but doesn't subvert traditional family or gender roles in any modern sense. There's no revisionist take on history or attacks on culture, though Dahl’s trademark cynicism about adults is present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no sign of ideological monoculture or political messaging in "The Twits". It’s all about the comeuppance of two horrible people, no moral lectures or nods to current hot-button issues.
