An antithalian with both the desire and ability to ruin everyone else's fun, however, is practically the archetypal children's story villain. Agatha Trunchbull from Roald Dahl's Matilda comes to mind -- a self-actualized professional antithalian, and also a bully, and kind of a sadist. We all have our flaws, though, and couldn't that whole unpleasant hurling-a-child-over-a-chain-link-fence thing have been avoided had she settled on a different career? AGATHA TRUNCHBULL: ONE-WOMAN POLICE FORCE. ONE WOMAN-ARMY. Children lining up around the block to have her sign their copy of her autobiography and walking away in awe, happy tears dripping down their cheeks -- "She yelled at me, Mum. At ME!" Come on, Hollywood. You know you want to.
