Hex Hall Character Analysis

Decent Essays
Another common trope in witch-wizard fantasy is, magic must always be present in some way. This means throughout the story there must be a magical source or somebody who has the power to produce magical powers. In my own novel “Hex Hall” there is magic found throughout the story since the main character is a witch, she casts spells whenever she pleases and her father is a warlock so she gets her magical side from him. In Harry Potter it is present considering they attend a school specifically for witchcraft and wizardry, every student who attends must be of the magical background. Another one in this sub-genre is having friends and allies. In Hex Hall Sophie had one best friend who was her roommate, named Jenna. They were there for each other …show more content…
Sophie discovered she was a witch when she was twelve years old. Now sixteen years old in high school, it is prom time. Sophie finds a girl crying in the bathroom because of having no date. She wanted to help this girl by giving her a date. So Sophie casts a spell, making herself seen and her spell causes an uprising. She is sent to a reform school for “monsters” which she knew she was. She has to remain there until she turns eighteen years old. Arriving there she is approached by a trio of witches who want her to join their coven, as Sophie proceeds to decline their offer they aren't very pleased. There are a series of attacks on students in the school. It has happened before in the previous year. Jenna is blamed because she is the only vampire and the students almost die of bloodloss and two small puncture wounds on their neck that resemble vampire fangs. Jenna believes it is the trio of dark witches because the previous year before Jenna’s old roommate was killed, she said they were trying to contact a demon and needed blood to do so. Turns out she was right. Towards the end of the story Sophie has decided to go through the process of removing her powers so she does not kill

    Throughout society, adolescent girls have often been pressured to conform to one another or impossible standards. In Katherine Howe’s novel Conversion, she comments on this pressure to conform by relating a unexplainable illness in modern times to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, which occurred during the Salem witch trials in the late 1600s. The plot of both literary works revolves around a mass hysteria caused by a group of strangely behaving girls. Colleen, the protagonist of Conversion, is dumbfounded after the most popular girl in school begins odd behaviors, but the entire community and even nation is confused by the group of girls who mimic these behaviors—and with no scientific reason of why. The Crucible mirrors this plot, though witchcraft is blamed for the girls’ actions.…
