‘I am That Very Witch’: Claiming Monstrosity, Claiming Desire in The Witch
In Robert Eggers’ The Witch (2015) the monstrous-feminine figure of the witch, imported to the new world along with Puritan settlers’ reformist religion, appears as both the abject boundary guaranteeing their world-view’s coherence and the structuring misogyny of their belief system made flesh. Privileging the perspective of Thomasin, daughter of an exiled and isolated settler family, the film emphasizes how the witch becomes her monstrous doppelgӓnger, as she is progressively alienated within her family and scapegoated for its losses. In a key scene advancing her transformation into a monstrous-feminine protagonist, Thomasin’s theatrical engagement with the idea or threat of the witch appears as a profane, carnivalesque inversion of Christian confession as a ‘technology of the self’ (Foucault, Technologies of the self. In Technologies of the self: A seminar with Michel Foucault, ed. Luther H. Martin, Huck Gutman, and Patrick H. Hutton, 16–49. Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1988) and as such, a moment of monstrous self-fashioning. This discussion considers A24’s exhibition and marketing strategy for the film and its appeal for fans, also the controversial character of Thomasin’s final choice to join the witches in the wood. The contentiousness of this choice highlights her moral ambiguity as an anti-hero who is simultaneously the product of and a response to misogynist structures of thought and belief.
