There’s William, his wife Katherine, eldest daughter Thomasin, son Caleb, a set of twins Mercy and Jonas and an infant son Samuel. The family is cast out from the Puritan (reformed English people of the yore, who wanted to bring about a change in the Catholic practices by purifying the Church of England) settlement for their differences of opinion ...
The film is about a family that stays united near a forest until the sudden disappearance of little Sam wreaks havoc in their lives. While Katherine blames Thomasin for it and for certain other events that unfold in the process (also because she is jealous of her virginal daughter), there is actually a sinister force working silently to bump the fa...
William commits the first sin and that is leaving his Puritan community behind and going his own way with his family. Also, when he steals a silver cup for buying hunting goods, he marks himself for his fate. In one of the scenes, Katherine confesses of her sin to her husband that the youngest son is a result of infidelity and that comes back to ha...
It is clearly revealed some minutes into the film that the witch needed Sam’s blood for preparing her flying potion, which is why she crushes his body to a pulp, thus ticking off one name from the family list. Next, Caleb goes wandering off into the forest on a hunting expedition, only to return home hallucinating (with visions of a seductress in t...
Although the witch is a predominant character, it is surprisingly not the main antagonist of the film. The witch manifests herself in many forms (a goat, a raven, a rabbit and a seductress) during the entire narrative of the movie. First, she is depicted as a haggard, old woman in the woods, who kidnaps Sam and then pounds his body before consuming...
The chaste and uncorrupted teenager is depicted as the submissive and dutiful girl, who loves her parents and siblings alike, until they all start to hold her responsible for the malevolent events that take place in their new home. In the opening scene, when the family is banished by the Puritans, Thomasin turns to take one final look at the commun...
Since the beginning of the film, the twins are shown to be talking to the big, black goat in the shed, which they also confess to. In reality, Black Phillip is actually Satan (in many Christian and Islamic cultures, The Devil is depicted as the one with horns, suborning people’s souls; hence the depiction of a black goat) hiding in plain sight, who...
After Black Phillip promises Thomasin of a “delicious” future she had always longed for, she “deals with the Devil” by selling her soul to him, then undresses (this implies that she has submitted to her sexual desires as well) and walks with him (him in the goat form again), deep into the woods, towards an ongoing Witches’ Sabbath. While there is a...
Banished from the bosom of their righteous pilgrim community, the troubled patriarch, William, and his Puritan family set out a humble farmhouse on the outskirts of a thick and dark forest, in mid-seventeenth-century New England.
