Lost without Breadcrumbs: Family, Scapegoating, and the Rationalization of Abuse in Robert Eggers's The Witch
Abstract:In The Witch: A New England Folktale, writer-director Robert Eggers draws heavily from the fairy-tale tradition, particularly the abandoned children narrative and its most famous representative, "Hansel and Gretel." This tale has been criticized by Jack Zipes for the ways it rationalizes "child abuse in the name of the symbolic order of the father." Rather than perpetuating the power imbalances that sustain social institutions, the film brings to them light through the characterization of family members, their relationships with one another, and the representation of methods by which such abuse often occurs.
期刊介绍:
Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
