Part 3/6:
Upon arriving at his cave, Sophie learns about life in Giant Country—the BFG is no ordinary giant. Contrary to his brutish kin, he abhors the idea of eating humans, instead surviving on a peculiar vegetable called a snozzcumber. However, Sophie’s safety is threatened by the more malevolent giants like Fleshlumpeater, who prey on humans.
A Growing Friendship
Although initially frightened, Sophie soon learns that her captivity is born from the BFG’s desire to protect her from his more dangerous brethren. As they converse, Sophie shares her lonely past in the orphanage, revealing her yearning for companionship and love. In turn, the BFG shares his struggles, including his role as a collector of dreams, offering Sophie a new and fantastical purpose beyond her orphanage life.
