- Abstract
- Javanese and Balinese people share belief in a wicked witch named Calon Arang, who is also known as Rangda (literary “the widow”). The malicious female character might originate from once existing prototype, while the historical background has strong connections with the folk tale about black magic Calon Arang used in wrath, causing plague and innumerable victims. The article gives three different literary examples by well-known modern Indonesian writers who exploit creative techniques of the present to transform the ancient image.
