Witch World/Tropes

*Witch World* is dedicated to exploring both fantasy and classic horror tropes, but it also includes themes such as loyalty, friendship, courage, and the power of dreams. These themes explore the idea that hope and determination can bring about change in even the darkest of circumstances.

## Tropes

### Persecution and Victimization

The persecution and victimization of witches, who are often seen as an evil force. The comic follows the story of a witch who is persecuted and victimized by the townspeople, despite her heroic actions. This trope is often seen in many fantasy and horror stories, as it serves to emphasize the dangers of prejudice and discrimination.

### Family Dysfunction

Also explores family dysfunction tropes, such as strained relationships between siblings, children rebelling against their parents, and strained relationships between parents and their children. The comic also touches on the concept of estranged family members, as well as the idea of family secrets and the potential consequences of revealing them.

### Madness

Most characters descend into insanity due to the pressure of the magical world or from using too much power. This trope is often used to show the consequences of using too much power or of not being prepared for the magical world, but it can also be used as a warning about the dangers of using magic without proper caution.

### Secret Society

A secret society of witches, known as the Mystic Coven, who use their magic to protect the world from dark forces. The Coven is a powerful alliance of witches who use their magical powers to defend the City of Dreams and its inhabitants. They are bound by a code of secrecy and loyalty, and they use their magic to protect the balance between good and evil.

### Psychological Horror

Psychological horror themes often involve the exploration of fear, paranoia, and mental instability. They often deal with the darker side of human nature, such as the fear of the unknown, the fear of death, and the fear of being alone. In Witch World, these themes are explored through the characters' struggles with their own inner demons and their fear of the supernatural forces they encounter. The comic also explores the idea of power and its consequences, as the protagonist must often choose between using her magical powers for good or evil.

### All Women Are Prudes/All Women Are Lustful

In *Witch World*, women are not simply portrayed as either prudes or lustful. Instead, they are strong and independent characters who are capable of achieving their goals through hard work and determination. Women are portrayed as capable of being both powerful and compassionate, as well as having the courage to take risks and stand up for what they believe in. The comic does not focus solely on the “prude” or “lustful” tropes, but instead emphasizes the strength and courage of women.

### Gaslighting

Gaslighting is a common trope in the *Witch World* series. It is a form of manipulation that seeks to make the victim doubt their own perception of reality. Gaslighting is often used to control and manipulate someone, as the manipulator seeks to make the victim question themselves and their beliefs. This can be seen in the Witch World series as the main villain is often seen trying to manipulate the main characters and make them doubt their own abilities.

### Transgression

*Witch World* also explores the theme of transgression, as many of the characters must make difficult choices that go against societal and moral norms in order to achieve their goals. For example, the main character must often use her magic to fight evil forces that threaten the world, even at the risk of her own safety and well-being. Additionally, the characters must often make difficult ethical decisions, such as deciding whether or not to use their powers to manipulate or deceive others in order to achieve their desired outcomes.
