The Witches of Eastwick is a 1984 fantasy novel by John Updike.Sukie, Jane, and Alexandra — three bored, middle-aged, single women living in the Rhode Island town of Eastwick — have the ability to manifest whatever they desire by thinking about it in concert. One night, while having a get-together, the three discuss their ideas of the perfect man.The next day, a mysterious stranger named Daryl Van Horne moves into the town's historic Lennox mansion. One by one, he manages to seduce each of the three women, and helps them to realize the full extent of their powers. The four indulge in a hedonistic sexual relationship, as the town busybodies gossip about the immorality of it all. But after the pillar of the community, Felicia Alden, is suddenly and mysteriously murdered by her Henpecked Husband Clyde, the witches begin to realize that the new man in town may be up to no good...Adapted into a 1987 film (directed by George Miller and starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer), as well as a 2000 stage musical. It also inspired the television series Eastwick and a sequel novel, The Widows of Eastwick.Not to be confused with Witches of East End. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: While it’s heavily implied in the film, particularly through mise-en-scene editing, that the witches talking angrily about Felicia causes her to vomit up cherry pits, it’s never really explained why or how, other than that they had semi-consciously hexed her with their magic. In the novel and stage musical, it’s shown that the witches deliberately “prank� Felicia by baptizing an old cookie jar in her name and filling it with insects and bits of debris, which end up randomly popping out of her mouth. | |

The Hedonist | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_2059a430 | comment |
The Hedonist: Daryl's goal in a nutshell seems to be for him and the witches to have as much fun together as they can. He's willing to use his powers to torment people if they seem like they're going to get in his way or try to leave him, but as long as nobody's stopping him having fun with the witches he doesn't go out of his way to make people miserable. | |

Babies Make Everything Better: Discussed. As Alexandra is a single mother to one teenage daughter, Jane can't have any children and Sukie is outnumbered by six children (the three youngest are triplets), at one point the three talk over whether or not the idea of having kids could come true for either of them. | |

Mythology Gag: When Alex and Sukie arrive at the mansion for tennis, Jane calls Alex out for being underdressed, asking her if she had "come to fix the plumbing." In the original novel, Alex's lover, Joe Marino, was a plumber who Daryl hired to install a hot tub. | |

Speak of the Devil | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_2bc8bdeb | comment |
Speak of the Devil: A couple of variations on this trope; Nobody can remember the new stranger's name at first (despite remembering the man himself and remembering thinking that he had a strange name that should be fairly memorable), until several people suddenly remember and say it at once, causing an accident to befall the woman who later seems to gain some sort of psychic link to his activities. Daryl is first drawn to Eastwick by the three witches thinking about their ideal man together, and unconsciously using their undiscovered magic to summon him. Please note the Exact Words twist(s). At the end, after they've banished him, they are careful not to even think about him whenever they're together because it will bring him back. They don't actually say his name, but it's a similar principle — it's how they summoned him in the first place. | |

Adaptational Heroism: The witches were far more amoral in the novel where, for example, they are largely indifferent to the murder of Felicia at the hands of her husband, Jane even claiming she brought it on herself with her self righteous hectoring. | |

| The Witches of Eastwick / int_4f62bde6 | comment |
Kavorka Man: Played with: Daryl is not particularly physically attractive (and Alex tells him at some length exactly how unattractive he is), yet he ends up seducing three absolutely gorgeous women with little apparent effort. However, even ignoring the fact that he might have used his supernatural powers to assist him, it is clear even before we actually meet him that he's not using his looks; the old woman in a shop describes him "as not handsome exactly, but - riveting. Yes, that's the word, I was riveted" and Jack Nicholson is charismatic enough to make it work. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Each of the three witches have a intense fear of something that Daryl uses to get back at them. Alex is afraid of snakes and she is horrified to find them in her bed. Jane is afraid of aging and starts to wrinkle rapidly. And Suki is afraid of pain and is almost killed when Daryl uses a fruit to psychologically harm her. | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: For all of Daryl’s charm and apparently sincere affection for the witches, his genuine lack of comprehension when Alex tries to tell him why he's wrong to magically torment them and nearly kill Sukie when they try to leave him shows he has a major case of this. He is, however, apparently sincere when Alex points this out and he says "I can learn", so unlike most examples of this trope, he seems willing to try and change. However, the witches have realised by this point how dangerous and unpredictable he is, and decide to banish him. | |

Slimeball: Daryl comes off this way to Alexandra when they first meet. He spouts off crass opinions and vulgar jokes at her over lunch, then invites her to his mansion and propositions her for sex on the spot. She gives him such a dressing down that it would annihilate the soul of any ordinary man. Unfortunately, Daryl is no ordinary man and he's not even fazed; his next question is what sexual position she prefers. | |

Louis Cypher: Daryl Van Horne. It's not clear whether he is actually Satan (while he has a distinct Lack of Empathy, for the most part his actions make him seem more like an extreme supernatural hedonist rather than someone who's actively malevolent), but he's clearly some sort of demonic creature. Especially once the witches accidentally break his voodoo doll, effectively ending his human existence and revealing his One-Winged Angel form. | |

Faux Affably Evil: He may seem charming at first, but Daryl doesn't hesitate to start cursing the girls at the first sign of defiance, almost killing Sukie from the atrocious pain he puts her through. While he displays some shades of this trope's more genuine counterpart, his clear Lack of Empathy and self-centered attitude make him lean more towards the "faux" direction. Not to mention that when Alexandra confronts him, he strongly implies that he is simply using the three of them to bear his heirs into the world and may not actually care about them at all. | |

Implied Trope: At the end of the vacation in Egypt, and shortly after Jane casually uses lethal magic on a helpless bat (for no other reason than to see if she still could), the two discuss the possibility of Sukie joining them on a future adventure. Alex dismisses it, citing the fact that Sukie still had her husband and probably wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him behind for so long. Jane's response boils down to "we'll see about that." Not long after the trip, Alex receives a letter from Sukie revealing that her husband, despite being in perfect health, has mysteriously dropped dead. She also lets slip that Jane re-entered her life around the same time, "almost as if she saw it coming." Do the math. | |

Wanting Is Better Than Having: On first running into Tommy Gorton after returning to Eastwick, Sukie fully expects him to want to rekindle their relationship, and intends to turn him down. Not only does he not try to hit on her, beyond reminiscing about their past, but even chastises her for thinking that everything would be the same for her on her return. Sukie’s vanity takes enough of a hit that she casts a spell to heal his mangled hand, thus giving him the confidence to ask her out (and giving her the satisfaction of refusing him.) | |

They talk each other out of feeling like they're being selfish, but it's clear that they barely know their own children. The sequel shows that at least Jane's children suffered because of this, and Alexandra's daughter calls her out on this. | |

Surprise Pregnancy: Each of the witches are genuinely surprised to discover they're pregnant (Jane, considering she could never have children) but nonetheless thrilled. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: Subverted; Marcy brings up how hard it was to have Alexandra as a mother, especially when the latter would have affairs with married fathers of the girls she'd go to school with, but she's brushed off. | |

Exact Words | |

Daryl is first drawn to Eastwick by the three witches thinking about their ideal man together, and unconsciously using their undiscovered magic to summon him. Please note the Exact Words twist(s). | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Veronica, the daughter of Alex's former romantic rival Gina Marino, can't get pregnant. By contrast, her father, Gina's husband Joe, would frequently get his wife pregnant with very little effort, and had carried on a relationship with Alex as a contraceptive measure. | |

Insult Backfire | |

Insult Backfire: After Alexandra's speech about what a repulsive, sexist pig he is, Daryl simply asks her if she would rather be on the top or bottom when they have sex. | |

Suspiciously Specific Sermon | |
| The Witches of Eastwick / int_ffbf846d | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Sermon: When Sukie has her first awkward meeting with Tommy Gorton (who has a grotesquely mangled hand resulting from a fishing accident) on Dock Street, a bible in a nearby store window is open to a passage about Jesus healing lepers, not only commenting on Tommy's condition but foreshadowing later events related to it. | |
