Significance of Witch

It is thought that Diana is a witch and the settlement in which she lives refuses to go and look for her believing that they are free of her wickedness now. Those in the village have been told that witches love the darkness and Diana often walks at night alone. Diana also reads books which is wrong for a woman and Diana has cross words with a person in her settlement and the next day that person's milk cow dries up. It is believed that if Diana goes home after being freed from such circumstances that she will be burned at the stake since no one but a witch could have gotten away.
