Abstract

Starting from the exploration of the role of the witch in Disney’s animated stories, this essay intends to establish similarities between witches from fairy tales and the pretext responsible for women who were victims during the witch-hunt between that took place from the 15th till the 18th century. This approach to a model that doesn’t evolve in spite of time is also intended to prove how the figure of the witch still attempts against valuable goods such as family or reproduction, specially when talking of a white heterogeneous couple.
