Terry Pratchett, Discworld, witches, speculative fiction, feminism, poststructuralism, discourses Place, publisher, year, edition, pagesHögskolan i Halmstad/Sektionen för Humaniora (HUM), 2006. Pratchett’s witches actually reinforce the patriarchal view of women. It appears that, while giving the impression of supporting feminism and the feminist views of witches, Then Pratchett’s treatment of his major witch characters is examined and analysed in terms of feminist and poststructuralist literary theory. This work investigates this claim by first outlining the development of the historical witch stereotype or discourse and how that relates to the modern, feminist views of witches. His first “witch” novel, Equal Rites, in which he pits organised, misogynist wizards against disorganised witches, led him to being accused of feminist writing. His Discworld series, which encompasses over 30 novels, has witches as protagonists in one of the major sub-series, currently covering eight novels. Terry Pratchett, writer of humorous, satirical fantasy, is very popular in Britain.
