The BFG Chapter Four: The Cave Summary

  • As he runs, the giant seems to go into a higher gear. Sophie gets the sense that they’re flying and even crossing oceans.
  • They eventually slow down as they get to a wasteland with a pale yellow ground, blue rocks, and dead trees. There’s also a mountain in the distance.
  • The giant stops at the mountain, rolls out the rock blocking the entrance, and enters. It’s pitch black.
  • He lowers Sophie onto a surface.
  • Poor Sophie can’t stop thinking about all the different ways that the giant might cook and eat her.
  • The giant lights a candle, and Sophie sees that she is on a super-tall table. Along the walls, she can see very tall shelves all full of glass jars.
  • The giant turns to Sophie and begins to speak in a booming voice.
