Sažetak
In her book The Monstrous Feminine – Film, Feminism, Psychoanalysis (1993), Barbara Creed states that “there is one incontestably monstrous role in the horror film that belongs to the woman—that of the witch, ” who she defines as “a familiar female monster, invariably represented as an old, ugly crone who is capable of monstrous acts” (2). In other words, the witch is almost always presented as having an ageing body. However, in Robert Egger's The Witch: A New England Folktale (2015), we encounter Thomasin, a young girl on the brink of puberty. The aim of the paper is to argue that both the ageing body and the coming-of-age body are portrayed as monstrous, albeit for different reasons.
