Below are images and some links that remind me of The Witches of Eastwick:
The image to the right reminded me of when Alexandra made her pasta sauce shrine to her lover. "She returned to putting up Mason jars of spaghetti sauce, sauce for more spaghetti than she and her children could consume even if bewitched for a hundred years in an Italian fairy tale, jar upon jar lifted trembling, singing round wire rack. It was, she dimly perceived, some kind of ridiculous tribute to her present lover a plumber of Italian ancestory."
Her shrine of enless jars of sauce represent her endless problems with men. And the fact that they are pasta sauce symbolize that they are more related to her present lover who happens to be an Italian man.
I really found his imagery and word choice very interesting in this excerpt. I found his comparason of it to the Italian fairy tale and being unable to finish all the sauce in that sense a very clever and humorous way to tell the reader just how much sauce Alexandra had made.

This image is exactly what I pictured when Alexandra Spofford, who can create thunderstorms, when she was walking along the beach to the house of their new mysterious neighbor, Darryl Van Horne. I believe her power to create thunderstorms is a mirror to her personality. Whenever she is feeling rather down, as she does when walking to Darryl's house, she brings on the thunderstorms to rid of the people. Thunderstorms are usually considered a symbol of anger, and when Alexandra gets angry, especially when things don't go her way, she brings about a thunderstorm to ease her mood.

When Alexandra calls upon a storm, I found it to be a symbol of her moving from an angrier state of mind, to a more peaceful state of mind. The link to the picture above shows a woman who looks serene, similar to when Alexandra calls upon a storm. Storms look scary and symbolize anger and fury, but one the rain starts, the sound is peaceful and soothing. As soon as she creates the storm, she makes her transition to being agitated and irritated to being more tranquil.
This image to the left symbols Jane's speech. Both the match and her speech pronunciation are short, terse, and abrupt. I thought this was the most interesting description of Jane's speech. This comparison first didn't make sense to me, but after thinking about it, I realized just how good of a comparison this was to a person's speech. It's different, attention catching, and interesting. The description implies that Jane's speech is coarse, blunt, and has the sound of a match being burned out; when she says anything with a s he mentions how it makes the same sound as the match: thsssssss.

(When trying to attach the third and fourth image, it said the images were attached but they never showed up. So the links are given for the pictures.)
