Question 1

Is The Witch woke?

Accepted Answer

The Witch has a woke score of 11/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The Witch follows a Puritan family exiled to a remote New England farm in 1630, where isolation, religious paranoia, and encounters with actual witchcraft destroy their faith, loyalty, and lives. The story uses authentic period language and folklore to depict sin, temptation, and supernatural evil as literal forces. No modern identity politics, activist dialogue, forced representation, or contemporary cultural critiques appear in the narrative, marketing, or creator statements. Some critics later applied feminist readings to the female characters' experiences within the historical religious framework, but these remain interpretive overlays rather than audience-visible or central elements.
