As an important part of western classical literary works,fairy tales are also a kind of literary form in children's literature.Among the many characters portrayed in children's literature,there is this kind of character-the witch,who are different from ordinary people,they are carry spells and use magic to help others,or do bad things.Writers have different understanding of them,so under the interpretation of writers,their images are good or evil,some are insidious or innocent.But the stories about them have been recited,especially by children,and even seen in a series of children's literature works.The traditional Western fairy tale portrays the image of a witch is not simply through a self-portrait of a woman signed by the name "witch" to represent the identity of a witch.Instead,some symbolic symbols are applied to represent the association with the existence of witches.Naturally,these symbols become the clue for us to identify a witch,but also become the synonym of witch.in the works of the pictographs,most of the images of witches were portrayed as hawk noses,high cheekbones,pointed chin,and ugly-looking old ladies.They are dressing in black cloaks,wearing black spires,flying all over the sky on brooms,and murmuring to themselves,who wore black cloaks,and wore black spire necromancers and flew all over the sky on brooms.They even can master the evil spell,cook lizards,bats,spiders,snakes in a large pot to make potions,and use it to poison others with all the thick potion they extract.This is also the image of a witch in most people inward hearts.The evil witch image in fairy tales is deeply rooted in the hearts of most people,and it is precisely because such a unique image has given the traditional witch image a unique style.However,in the era of the rise of mass culture,the image of the witch has greatly changed into three types of magic girls,such as Lori,pure and quiet,and beautiful girl warrior who is sexy and violent,which is mainly small and lovely.The image of the witch has been transformed into three types of magic girls,such as Lori which is mainly small and lovely;pure,quiet and beautiful girl or warriors who are sexy and violent.Based on the text reading of relevant fairy tales and the analysis of Witch's visual image,this paper explores the construction and transformation of witch image from fairy tale map to anime image.Through the methods of image analysis and comparative study,taking the context of mass culture as the background,this paper explores the construction and transformation of witch image from fairy tale map to anime image,the strategy and reason of witch image transformation,as well as the unique cultural implication of witch image and the value significance of witch image transformation.The article is divided into the following four chapters: The first chapter summarizes the construction and classics of the traditional witch image by combing the formation and rheological process of witch culture,and the second chapter summarizes the transformation ofwitch image and its symbolic meaning in anime works by comparing the image of witch and the image of traditional witch in anime works.The third chapter from the view of consumer culture,New Media ecology and other perspectives to analyze the reasons for the transformation of witch image;The fourth chapter mainly summarizes the value significance of witch image transformation.
