PRESIDENT SNOW
President Snow is the winner - holding the title of the person "no one would want to meet in their life". I can understand this one! President Snow would appreciate your vote. The more you fear him, the more power he holds! ;)
Now for the next battle:
Today is Halloween!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! In honor of this holiday, we are going to do one more "Villain" category. Tell us which female witch haunted your childhood nightmares! As a child, or now ... these ladies are scary! Here is your first choice:
The Wicked Witch of The West
The "Wicked Witch of The West" is the malevolent ruler of the Winkie Country. We are not talking about the character in the play "Wicked" but the witch from the story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Pros:
Most of the Wicked Witch's power comes from the creatures she controls. She has a pack of wolves, a swarm of bees, a flock of crows, and an army of Winkies. The winged monkeys she has are SCARY! She strives to get the silver shoes from Dorothy, (yes they were silver in the book), because she constantly wants more and more power.
Cons:
Dorothy! She can't kill Dorothy because she is protected by the Good Witch of the North's kiss. Instead, she enslaves Dorothy and starves the cowardly lion, resulting in her melting from water. Even though water can kill her ... she haunted my dreams as a little girl!
Quotes:
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!"
And now for choice #2:
The Witch in Hansel and Gretel
The Witch in Hansel and Gretel is not the person you would want to meet when wandering the forest. She illustrates parent's warning, "do not take candy from strangers."
Pros:
First, she uses her baking skills to lure kids into her cottage. Once inside, she gives more and more sweets to try to fatten them up. Yes ... she eats kids! If that does not make her scary ... I don't know what else will.
Cons:
Her poor eye sight. The kids were able to trick her into thinking they were still skinny and not ready to be eaten yet. In general, she was easily tricked and that ultimately was her down fall. Dying in an oven is not a fun way to go. This witch scared me immensely as a child. She was "sweet" and "sourly wicked"!
Quotes:
"Hola, Gretel," she cried to the girl, "be active, and bring some water. Let Hansel be fat or lean, to-morrow I will kill him, and cook him."
Well there you have it! Two childhood, nightmare-inducing, horrible witches that kept me up late at night hearing noises coming from my closet and under my bed. You decide, which witch is worse? Vote now!
