Compare and contrast the BFG with the rest of the giants.
While the rest of the giants eat humans by the handful, the BFG does not. He prefers to live off of snozzcumbers, even though he doesn’t like the taste of that vegetable. The BFG is principled in this way. Once he decided that he wasn’t going to eat humans, there was no way he would change. He frowns on the other giants, who do.
The BFG is a gentle soul, collecting dreams and giving them to children. He is also kind to Sophie, as well as caring and loyal, betraying his emotional attachment to Sophie by giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her in the palace.
He is also talented, as seen by his super-human hearing.
The other giants are lazy and gluttonous, preferring to just eat humans and nap a little before throwing their youngest giant around. They are bullies and insensitive.
