"The Grand High Witch"

The role of the witch in the movie, “The witches” by Nocolas Roeg is the same traditional, evil witch that we think of first when we say the word witch. Well, there are a lot of witches that are included in this movie, but I am going to discuss about the leader witch, because she is the one who all witches of England are trying to be like. She makes a potion and decides to turn all children of England into mice. Well, the victims of her idea are Luck, and his friend. By her behavior and actions we will see how she fits into the idea of traditional witch. Her character overall fits into the stereotype, and there would be a radical change if she wouldn’t fit into the stereotype. The grand high witch completely fits into the typecast by her evil action, thoughts, role in this movie and the reason why she does all that evil stuff.
The grand high witch plays two roles in this movie. In a public she appears as an elegant, smart lady but nobody thinks that she might be the leader...
