Who is Miss Spider?
Miss Spider is one of the iconic characters from James and the Giant Peach, a classic story by Roald Dahl that was adapted into a live-action/stop-motion animated film in 1996. She is a charming, thoughtful, and somewhat mysterious anthropomorphic spider who becomes one of James’s closest companions during his fantastical journey inside a giant peach.
Miss Spider is known for her French accent and sophisticated demeanor, which add an air of elegance to her otherwise intimidating appearance.
In the story, she reveals a tragic backstory, having lost her family to a cruel human who swept them away. Despite this, she is kind-hearted and fiercely loyal, always looking out for James and the other insect characters. Her resourcefulness and determination often come in handy, such as when she weaves silk to solve problems or protect her companions.
In the 1996 film adaptation, Miss Spider is voiced by Susan Sarandon. Sarandon’s performance brought a sultry, enigmatic quality to the character, making her one of the most memorable members of the peach’s crew. Her portrayal captured Miss Spider’s depth, showcasing her courage, wit, and maternal instincts as she supports James in his quest for freedom and a new family.
