The Bounty In the Bog In a barren wasteland in the olden times once lived a baron who ruled over all the land. One day his wife went missing and being a somewhat barbaric ruler because he was an ex soldier and at first he suspected that the people might have kidnapped her. So he sent out all his soldiers and hounds to search every house for his wife. After searching for days and not finding a trace he put a wanted notice and a lump sum of money for someone to find his wife. To his fortune a bounty hunter by the name of Geralt stumbled upon the notice while venturing through. Bounty hunters were often discriminated because of their line of work but Gerlat didn’t mind because you have to have thick skin to do that kind of work. Even though they were not …show more content…
“Ahh you have finished your part of the bargain, have you not” the first of the three witches said, each one more disgusting than the next, “ I have, now fulfil your part”. “ The woman you seek has been here all along”. Just than Geralt realized that Gran must have been the Baron's wife Anna. The witches laughed then disappeared in a cloud of ravens. Geralt went back to the castle to get the baron and to go get his wife. “Have you found my wife yet” the Baron said, “ Yes she is in the bog she was captured by witches and put into a trace, gather your men and we can go get her” The baron gathered his men, along with Geralt, they all went into the swamp to free Anna. When they got there Anna was no longer a human but instead a hideous monster. They could only recognize her because she wore the same clothes as before. “What has happened to her” the baron screamed “ It’s a curse by the witches, I can lift it if I find the source” They started busting into all the rooms looking for anything suspicious. In the biggest building they found 3 black magic dolls with an item wove into each. “ Which one represents her” Geralt asked the baron. “ The doll with the white daffodils, they were her favorite

The forest had gone.... and the Witch looked much younger. Audette opened her eyes and had found herself upon a brow of white lilies. The shape of the shrouded old woman seemed changed. Having turned around, and opened her mantle to the tearing gusts, Meliza revealed to the young lady two streams of shinging blackness and smooth white flesh. Audette stopped in her tracks.
Just as they were making their way toward the shack out comes the witch. They carefully make their way up to her and not taking their eyes off of her. Not only was she a witch but a beautiful one, like no one they had ever seen. She

Students have a constant need to progress, learn, and push forward in order to take flight.
A group of young girls started to accuse several women of participating in witchcraft, or even worse that they were being possessed by the devil. But this is only an effect of where it all truly began, when these girls mentioned before, whose names were Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams, started to display strange behavior which consisted of them making odd sounds abnormal screams, and contorting their bodies or in some cases throwing objects. After this occurrence both girls started to claim that an invisible being was scratching and biting them. After them many young girls started to act similarly. This event unleashed a series of merciless and callous trials, which claimed where for the hunting down of the malicious beings that corrupted their community. Most of the people accused, declared themselves as not guilty, and pleaded their innocence till their death, which was in fact a cause of such harsh
The setting adds to the meaning and the mood by creating a dark feel, and having a dark, almost scary setting. The images involve the devil, pagan rituals, and so- called “good Christian people” worshipping the devil. Young Goodman Brown, a good Christian man was walking through the very dark forest. He there met an old man who claimed to be the devil himself.
It never happened, not that it would. But eventually he learned to adjust, and after a time, he came to find comfort in the solace of the woods at night. Though it was some time later when he noticed he was officially an outlaw, especially when he saw his first wanted poster. Though he was a bit thankful, he was still angry with who ever drew the poster, made his nose so damn big and rounded it might as well have been the moon. But for a short time, he could rest easy in his travels as he wasn't suspected, until he saw something he just could not agree with anymore than what happened with his village. Small time nobles seem to have it in their heads that, just because they have a thimble of noble blood and a title, they can do as they please. Though a nobles son attempting to force a woman to be his, he should have just walked on, not punching him square in the face like he did do. But he did, and bleeding all over himself, the young man promised speirr he'd remember him and that he'd pay for what he did before running off. The woman though thanked him and though she knew he couldn't stay long, offered him a warm meal and any help she could. Speirr was not one to pass up generosity, and the meal he received was accompanied by a very sweet...desert. But he stayed too long, and by the time he went to left, guards were on him like dogs. Speirr barely escaped, but after that, his bounty increased and his face was drawn right this
Suddenly she found herself surrounded by a huge forest. There was snow all around so it was very cold, so Lucy put on one of the conveniently placed fur coats and went to explore the wood. She did not walk far when she saw a light walking closer she discovered it was a lamppost. It was here buy this lamppost Lucy met the talking fawn named Mr. Tomnas.

Due to no light being able to pass through, the woods are described as a ‘labyrinth’ and a ‘system of Chinese boxes’, thus creating the sense of entrapment and claustrophobia, in which you are unable to escape from. Angela Carter repeats this sense of entrapment in ‘The Tigers Bride’, as the tiger’s castle is full of ‘vaulted chambers’ creating the similar ‘system of Chinese boxes’. The ‘Erl-King will do you grievous harm’ is repeated throughout, for its purpose is to warn the female protagonist, in which it has the opposite effect on her by soothing her rather than disturbing her. This then enchants the protagonist to shadow the Erl-King more. The disillusion and the entrapment which is emphasised throughout highlights the fact that ‘The Erl-King’ is a rapist, as the protagonist explains as she is ‘in his dress of water’. ‘The Erl-King’ portrays characteristics of a siren, as he intentionally traps women and turns them into birds, entitling them as they sing for him. Carter thoroughly reincarnates the devil in the duality of ‘The Erl-King’ as the language used to describe him contradicts his peaceful perception through the nonviolent attitude to the woods as opposed to women. In considering other stories, the language used in ‘The Erl-King’ is that of other folk tales such as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. ‘A young girl would go into the wood as trustingly as Red Riding Hood’. This portrays the young girl and all the girls before the
Throughout the stage play, the Putnam family helped fuel that fear. For their greediness, led to accusations of which craft. From their first child, Anne Putnam had said that Rebecca Nurse stole the souls of her babies. Putting Goody Nurse in for the hanging, literally. On the “Are you serious,” scale of the Putnam’s role in this story; Mr. Putnam gets his daughter caught up in this mess by forcing her to plea on her neighbor George Jacobs as a witch, or warlock. Making her tell the court, that an older man’s spirit would lay upon her in the night. The only reason he did this, was for the man’s land and livestock. Although Ruth worked with the other girls on the accusations, this action was more of a bad mark upon her father.
