AB The purpose of this B.A. Dissertation is to analyse the characterisation of witches in Disney films, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) to Maleficent (2014). This will be done in relation to the different waves of feminism, to be able to prove whether feminist discourse exerted any kind of influence on them. After having analyzed their physical appearance, character, and use of magic, three stages can been established depending on the different bearing that feminism has on them: The Traditional Era (1937-1960), The Liberation Era (1961-1989) and The Empowerment Era (1990-2014). While Queen Grimhilde and Maleficent represent the prototype contrary to the ideal of a virtuous woman, Ursula displays a role of a liberated woman, in her body and sexuality, and Elsa and Maleficent, not only take the leading role, but embody a more diverse and ambivalent witch, capable of making a benevolent use of their magic.
