In the illustrations of Jadis (in both The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) she is portrayed as a dark-haired and stern woman, whereas in the illustrations of the Queen of Underland, she appears more fair and almost gentle. Pauline Baynes’ illustrations of the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle are distinctly different. But let us theorize that, later on, someone did call the White Witch back and she resurfaces as the Lady of the Green Kirtle. In Prince Caspian there is thought toward calling the White Witch back from the dead, but this is hastily stopped by Caspian and a few of his friends in the chapter Sorcery and Sudden Vengeance. Pauline Baynes’ illustration of the White Witch The only possible explanation around this would be that she only appeared dead, but then Aslan would have made a huge mistake. She was dead, no doubt, for even her armies saw her as dead. Most of the enemy had been killed in the first charge of Aslan and his companions and when those who were still living saw that the Witch was dead they either gave themselves up or took to flight.” “The battle was all over a few minutes after their arrival. Our first and most obvious argument against this idea may be that Aslan killed the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But why? How has this become a popular idea? Could the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle be one and the same enchantress? Why do these two villains seem so often associated with one another? When a newer Silver Chair film was being discussed, it seemed that often times people wondered if Tilda Swinton would return, starring as the Green Lady of Underland. However, this could be a coincidence, as Barbara Kellerman also played the Hag in Prince Caspian. In the BBC adaptations, the same actress, Barbara Kellerman, portrays both the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as the Lady of the Green Kirtle in The Silver Chair. It seems like often times the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle have been connected in some way.
