Fat Comic Relief: Averted. At first, it seems like Petulia is going to be this trope. However, instead of making her a punchline, Pratchett made Petulia a person. Despite her insignificance to the plot, when she is talked about or present, she is treated with respect. And she comes to her own at the end of the book, when she overcomes her fear of being criticized, steps up to Annagramma, and wins the Witch Trials.Sex: When Tiffany visits Mrs. Earwig’s (pronounced Ah-wij) house she notices the décor, which includes paintings of young covens dancing beneath the full moon, accompanied by men/gods/male spirits with horns—and neither the young women nor the young men are wearing a stitch. The paintings are described broadly, with no details. They make Tiffany uncomfortable, but as kids under peer pressure often do, she swallows her initial feeling and convinces herself that “that’s real witchcraft.” I'm trying to have a moment o' existential dreed here, right? Crivens, it's a puir lookout if a man canna feel the chilly winds o' fate lashing aroound his netheres wi'out folks telling him he's deid, eh?”

eşyaları havada oynattığını gördüğünde ona saygı duyacaklar. Ve saygı, bir cadının besini ve suyudur. Saygı olmadan hiçbir şeysin. Bizim Bayan Düzgün pek fazla saygı görmüyordu.” The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it. – from Monstrous Regiment Granny Weatherwax: Then you'll face me. You'll face me, on my ground. But that won't happen, will it? Tiffany’nin küçük mavi yoldaşları Nac Mac Feegle klanı ise bir şeylerin fena halde ters gittiğinin farkındadır. Herhangibir Rob önderliğinde bir grup Feegle, Tiffany’i bulmak ve mini koca-karılarını kurtarmak, karşılarına da her ne çıkacak olursa olsun kapışmak üzere yola çıkarlar.Pratchett plays with the word 'egress' (exit) throughout the novel, making fun of the way words get used in the wrong context by 'supposedly intelligent people'. Egress becomes a female eagle (a combination of eagle or eaglet and the feminine suffix ess), a female ogre (ogress), a small heron (egret), In A Hat Full of Sky, however, Tiffany gets the Pratchett treatment even more than she had before, and that includes a bag full o' flaws put right in to her. Tiffany isn't perfect and that's why she's so wonderful. She's a little plain (no funny coloured hair or differently coloured eyes, thank you) and, whilst she has extraordinary witching power, she's got hang ups just like the rest of us. Tiffany can be a little childish, a little selfish, a little annoying, a little big-headed and a little too proud. She's fully developed and three-dimensional and that is the freshest of breaths of fresh air.
