Description: In this FYS project, Olivia English uses the myth of Demeter and Persephone, as well as biblical stories of Lilith (Adam’s first wife) to establish the archetype of a “witch”, defined by sexualization, social isolation, and transformative power. She uses this framework to analyze the Broadway musical Carrie’s representation of Carrie as a witch figure.
