Abstract: Sorcery and sorcerers of all kinds have always occupied a significant place in the life of the people of England, which is reflected in the development of not only history, but also literature and philosophy, reflecting man's centuries-old belief in supernatural forces and the fight against them if these forces were the servants of Satan. Ironically, belief in and struggle against unclean power reached its climax during the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and it was the Renaissance that "brought to life stormy waves of irrationalism and fear" [1], giving the world the Inquisition, and "the reverse side of Renaissance" was the heyday of demonomania, which has gone down in human history as a "witch hunt". [2, pp. 134-135].
Key words: demonology, witch hunt, irrationalism, sorcery, supernatural forces, plays, works of literature, black magic.
