Something Wicked This Way Comes Archetypes

In the novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, the quest archetypes are shown when Will goes on a journey to defeat the carnival. Will, Jim and Charles have to kill Mr. Dark and the Dust Witch in order to defeat the carnival and complete their quest.
In order to defeat the carnival, they team up and use the magic weapon of laughter against the Dust Witch through “She’s shot!” and “It’s alright! Shows over! Just fainted!” said Mr. Dark “All an act.”(Bradbury256) to describe the witch’s death. They kill the dust witch when Mr. Dark performs the Bullet Trick using her as an actor but Charles Halloway actually kills her when he places a bullet with his smile on it in her mouth causing her to die from shock. They kill her because

she takes the souls of the people who are taken into the carnival by stopping the hearts and so she needed to be killed so that no one else would be harmed.
Also, they kill Mr. Dark through “The two matchstick lights in the boy’s eyes blew out” and “fell to Earth”(275) describing when Mr. Dark died. They do this by putting Charles Halloway’s arm and pulled him close with a loving hug causing him to die from the magic weapon of love. They do this because the carnival collects lonely sinners who have unhealable wounds by luring them in with an appealing deal. If they accept the deal, there most desired wish will come true with a side effect. The carnival takes them into the carnival under the control of Mr. Dark who has illustrations of everyone he controls.
Will, Jim and Charles complete the quest by killing Mr. Dark and the Dust Witch. In the end, never give up on what is trying to be accomplished.
