James life is miserable with two aunts .write at least two pieces of evidence

One of the main antagonists in James and the Giant Peach, Aunt Spiker is one of the cruel aunts whom James lives with in the south of England. She is lean and tall and bony, and she is a screeching voice with narrow lips. She spits whenever she speaks, and because of her selfish, greedy personality, she is always yelling at James and punishing him for the littlest things.

Aunt Spiker and her companion, Aunt Sponge, try to profit off of the enormous peach that grows in their backyard, and this leads to their demise. On the morning that the peach freed itself from the tree, Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge were flattened and killed by the rolling peach after tripping over one another in an effort to escape the mammoth, destructive fruit.

Just as mean-natured as her companion Aunt Sponge, Aunt Sponge is one of the two cruel aunts whom James lives with in the south of England. But unlike Aunt Spiker, Aunt Sponge is enormously fat and very short, with small pig-like eyes and a sunken mouth. Like her fellow antagonist Aunt Spiker, she is always yelling at James and punishing him for every mistake that he made.

Driven by their greedy natures, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker decide to turn the giant peach into a tourist attraction (though Aunt Sponge, at first, wants to eat away at the enormous fruit). They also meet a common demise: both are flattened by the peach once it is cut away from its tree and begins rolling away to freedom.
