- Abstract:
  A literary analysis of the play "The Witch" by Thomas Middleton is presented. It suggests that the character Almachildes references the Biblical story of Jonah when he curses at the character Amoretta for being a Puritan, citing the use of "swallow" by Almachildes as similar to how Jonah was swallowed by a sea creature by God's order.
