  • Terry Pratchett's Discworld.” Mythlore: a Journal of J.R.R
    Háskóli Íslands School of Humanities Department of English Terry Pratchett’s Discworld The Evolution of Witches and the Use of Stereotypes and Parody in Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad B.A. Essay Claudia Schultz Kt.: 310395-3829 Supervisor: Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir May 2020 Abstract This thesis explores Terry Pratchett’s use of parody and stereotypes in his witches’ series of the Discworld novels. It elaborates on common clichés in literature regarding the figure of the witch. Furthermore, the recent shift in the stereotypical portrayal from a maleficent being to an independent, feminist woman is addressed. Thereby Pratchett’s witches are characterized as well as compared to the Triple Goddess, meaning Maiden, Mother and Crone. Additionally, it is examined in which way Pratchett adheres to stereotypes such as for instance of the Crone as well as the reasons for this adherence. The second part of this paper explores Pratchett’s utilization of different works to create both Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad. One of the assessed parodies are the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm as well as the effect of this parody. In Wyrd Sisters the presence of Grimm’s fairy tales is linked predominantly to Pratchett’s portrayal of his wicked witches. Whereas the parody of “Cinderella” and the fairy tale’s trope is central to Witches Abroad. Additionally, to the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tales, Pratchett’s parody of Shakespeare’s plays is central to the paper. The focus is hereby on the tragedies of Hamlet and Macbeth, which are imitated by the witches’ novels. While Witches Abroad can solely be linked to Shakespeare due to the main protagonists, Wyrd Sisters incorporates both of the aforementioned Shakespeare plays.

    I’m a Child of Appalachia® 2010 Writing Contest “If you could invent something, what would it be and what problem would it solve?” Foundation for Appalachian Ohio The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) regional community foundation serving to enrich quality of life in the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio. Through FAO, Appalachian Ohio citizens work regionally to attract and maximize investments, leverage econo- mies of scale and access resources not otherwise available in their communities. After twelve years of success advancing a variety of quality of life initiatives, FAO is now implementing a ten year focus on the region’s educational advancement. The basis for FAO’s strategic focus on education is that educational attainment and prosperity are closely correlated; increasing access to educational opportunities is the most effective way the region will realize lasting transformations in quality of life. By creating near-term and permanent educational resources, FAO helps today’s students succeed, while ensuring the region builds vital capacity and necessary stability to leverage present success into future success. In response to the unique needs and opportunities of our region, FAO’s educational focus is delivered through five strategic categories of investment. FAO invests to: 1. Inspire Confidence in the Young and Young at Heart; 2. Support Educators, Especially Teachers; 3. Help Families Prepare for Educational Success; 4. Grow and Leverage Educational Philanthropy; and 5. Partner with Others to Strengthen the Infrastructure of Educational Success. Through these strategies, FAO is working to ensure Appalachian Ohio achieves a thriving economy, educational excellence and cultural enrichment.
