Fairy tales have always been present in the individual's memory and unconscious, either with adventurous and cunning narratives, or with monsters and terrifying beings who insist on staying in children's nightmares. What makes a hero or heroine capable of becoming great and memorable? The villain. Therefore, we chose the witch as the main theme for this study. We discuss the malignent feminine in the tales of tradition, permeating the tales of Charles Perrault and Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and how this malignancy is represented in contemporary narratives and in cinematographic adaptations. The main objective of the research is to conceptualize and characterize the female character of the witch, through the articulation between good and evil in children's Literature, especially in the scope of the marvelous genre. The fairy is understood as the beneficial face of the villain; however, this question will be demystified throughout the research. The main motivation for this research aimed at the witch was the enchantment about this emblematic and mysterious character from fairy tales, and its recurrent marginalization, as well as the comicality and banality imposed on her for their representations in contemporaneity. In the main film adaptations, there is a very comical witch, bordering on banality, or so terrifying as to be more frightening than that of our childhood fairy tales
