Son of a Witch

Macbeth vs. White Witch The strive of ambition for power can seem to be true perfection, but one should be careful what they wish for, because that power might be exactly what caused their downfall. This is true in William Shakespeare's story of a man named Macbeth. And C.J. Lewis’s novel about a White Witch, Jadis. Merciless, cruel, and power-hungry, both Macbeth and the White Witch portray an image of pure evil. Although the White Witch & Macbeth are named royalty--King or Queen---,they never

imitate the great book. One of those fiction novels is called The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, written by Clive Staples Lewis. In the fantasy The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Clive Staples Lewis uses the symbol of the stone table, the character archetype of the villain, and the character archetype of the hero to convey and compare the similarities of Christianity in his novel.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a historical fiction written by Elizabeth George Speare. There are many themes throughout the book such as identity, home, religion, family, and judgment. Throughout the book many characters are introduced. Kit is the main character. Next there is Hannah Tupper. She is an elderly Quaker and is known as the witch of Blackbird Pond to the people there.

Encountering Jadis Peter and Edmond encounter the White Witch in different ways, yet by the end of the novel they both despised her. They both hated her. They both deplored her. Edmond met the White Witch; because he followed Lucy into the wardrobe. At first the Witch treated the strange being, Edmond, like any other subject, with harshness and cruelty.

Martha Carrier was a daughter, mother, a wife, and anything but a witch. Martha Carrier, according to Mather, was indicted for bewitching many members of their town including the “afflicted” girls, neighbors, and even her own children (Murphy).
