"Are You a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?" Witches in Contemporary TV series
MASÁŘOVÁ, Klára
This bachelor's thesis is based on interpretation of a witch as a contemporary series character. I start with interpretation of four elemental witch types according to Heather Greene: the wild woman, the accused woman, fantasy witch and magical other, followed by brief interpretation of development of the witch character throughout film and series history. Next part of the thesis is dedicated to the development of feminist movement, which is used as a methodology for further analysis. The findings of previous parts are being used for analysing three chosen series: Charmed (1998), American Horror Story: Coven (2013) and Chilling adventures of Sabrina (2018). The outcome of the thesis is to interpret witch character as strongly bounded to feminist movement and character that is an emancipated woman through her power. The selected series and witch characters represent the development of feminist movement in the last 30 years.
