Their childhood was spent living with wolves, however they are taken in by nuns of St. Lucy’s who attempt to assimilate them into the human world through different phases.

It is in this same intimidating mood that the girls follow her lead in beginning to call out the names of who they "saw" with the Devil at the end of Act I. Her dominance continues as the play advances and the girls are required to attend court and follow Abigail’s order. They all start pretending as if they have a special ability to identify those who are
The lighting director skillfully plays with light and shadow, casting haunting silhouettes, and expertly crafting an atmosphere of seclusion and isolation. As the creature travels through the darkened forest, beams of moonlight pierce through the canopy, adding to the isolating atmosphere in the play. This use of light and shadow symbolizes the creature’s internal struggle and the contrast between his desire for connection and the reality of his isolation. The carefully crafted lighting accentuates the character’s profound sense
The viewer can almost feel the fear of the men who are not able to move, the gruesome death of friends, and even one’s own nerves.

On of the greatest examples of imagery that Alice Walker uses is the one that compares light and darkness. At the beguining of the story the author mentions delicate and calm setting of a farm. In creating this imagery the reader is able to understand that all the positive and upbeat words are associated with the farm setting. Myop’s light-hearted innocence is also shown when “watching the tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale”. The effective description provides credibility to the environment, and makes the later events all the more shocking,
Her voluminous costume also makes the Wicked Witch seem larger and more frightening than she is. Seeing these two characters in two very different costumes before they even speak a word helps the viewers to already get a feel for who they are and what is maybe to
