This paper is concerned with the change of witch's image in British literature and culture. Witches have been present in literature for centuries which is why their role in a narrative has changed throughout the years. The theoretical chapters define witches as characters and describe different ways to analyze a narrative. Then, the analytical part captures the character's transformation in two phases: The Hag and The Idol. Along with the thesis, the reader follows witch's journey from Shakespeare's Macbeth to Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane.
