General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Equal Rites" by Terry Pratchett tells the story of Eskarina, a young girl who is accidentally made a wizard in a world where only men can be wizards. The narrative explores her journey as she tries to reconcile her destiny with the expectations of her society. Simultaneously, the book presents a unique perspective on magic, contrasting the practical, nature-based magic of witches with the academic, ritual-focused magic of wizards. E.s.k.a.r.i.n.a. finds herself caught between these two worlds as she grows into her own power. The book also delves into themes of gender roles and the influence of belief and perception on reality. The story follows E.s.k.a.r.i.n.a. as she begins to explore her abilities, and her path is constantly challenged by the established rules of her world.
