Most novels have many themes. The Witch of Blackbird Pond is no exception. You can find key themes by reading the novel. What are some ideas that are shown throughout the book when you read it? Here are a few themes with textual evidence from the story:
- Kit shows loyal friendship throughout the story. She befriends Hannah Tupper, who is not accepted in the town because she is mysterious and a Quaker. Kit is loyal to her even though their friendship is frowned upon.
- Duty is important to daily life in Puritan Connecticut. Aunt Rachel, Mercy, and Judith are dutiful to their daily chores and the expectations of their community and Uncle Matthew. They work all day to run the household.
- Love is shown throughout the story. Kit shows love to Hannah Tupper and lonely Prudence. She shows love to Mercy by going to Mr. Kimberley (a man who "'isn't known for changing his mind'") and negotiating about her cousin's position as the dame school teacher.
What repeated ideas do you see when you read the novel? What characteristics do the main characters have? Are these characteristics shown repeatedly? These are ways that you can find a theme.
