The Golden Ticket to Religion
Exploring the Chocolate Factory as a Religion Factory
My goal for this website is to give you a tour of the religious symbols in the novel and both movies. I have identified and evaluated many themes, symbols, and connections that go far beyond your imagination.
Welcome to my site!
In 1964, Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published. Seven years later, it became a major motion picture titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In 2005, the book was turned into a second major motion picture. This time, the title would remain the same as the novel: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
You have been presented with the GOLDEN TICKET to follow me on my journey of finding religion in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
From the very first time I watched the 1971 movie, I adored it. I dreamed of being in the Chocolate Factory. If I was granted one wish, it would be to meet Willy Wonka. During what was quite possibly my hundreth time watching the film, I discovered multiple religious symbols.
