The witch Sabrina Spellman was originally created by George Gladir and Dan
DeCarlo and appeared for the first time in Archie's Madhouse's No.
22 in 1962.
But Roberto
Aguirre-Sacasa reinvented Sabrina in 2018 in the series Chilling Adventures of
Sabrina, which is an adaptation of the comic series Sabrina, the witch apprentice of the
publisher Archie Comics.
In the series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Sabrina Spellman is a hybrid
between a mortal and a witch.
She lives in the town of Greendale with her
two aunts Hilda and Zelda because her parents died.
She attends the city's
high school with deadly teenagers.
However, on her sixteenth birthday, she must make a
choice: become a member of the Satanic Church of the Night (pledging herself to serve Satan)
to obtain her full powers by signing the Book of the Beast or to give up her powers and to
continue her life among mortals but with only a little power.
Firstly, the series delivers a feminist message through Sabrina who can stand up to the
institutions of power and even Satan himself.
Throughout history, feminists have appropriated
the witch as a symbol of liberation from patriarchal control and resistance, and Sabrina is one
of them.
Indeed, she doesn’t use her magic to serve a more powerful person, but to defend her
values, her liberty, and the persons she loves.
And, at the beginning, Sabrina doesn’t want to
sign the Book of the Beast and resist and she spends a lot of time questioning the rules and
commandments of Satan and Father Blackwood, a High Priest of the Church of the Night and
the principal of the Academy of the Unseen Arts.
