On Witches and Chic Evil: A Psycho-Sociological Analysis of The Love Witch
Abstract
The Love Witch is a 2016 American film directed by Anna Biller. It tells the story of Elaine, a witch whose lovers happen to die one after the other. The film presents itself as a feminist view on gender roles and the dichotomy of femininity/masculinity. In this chapter, the author discusses the idea of evil and how it is portrayed in the film. Sociological and psychological perspectives are presented. The analysis shows that the main character can be viewed as a societal deviant or as a person struggling with a traumatic past, thus explaining her behavior that can be attributed to evil. Nevertheless, the film presents a novel view on feminine evil, showing that it is different, and it should not be compared with the masculine one.
