    I noted the contrast between daughter and mother but didn’t know what to make of it terms of the story.

    My primary issues is that I think there has to be a good reason why ?the daughter needs to be resurrected . (And the mother saved.) ?Unfinished business, a wrong to be rectified, an injustice remedied, a broken relationship mended — whatever. I don’t think that the grief of ?personal loss is sufficient for dramatic purposes.

    And achieving the objective goal ?should have unintended consequences: be careful what you wish for. ?(In keeping with the genre assigned to the concept: thriller.)

    For what it’s worth, both characters seem to be acting out their own egocentric needs. ?There are plenty of other people who have lost or are about to lose loved ones, loved ones who deserve as much or more to live — but all the 2 characters care about is their own. ? What’s so special about the daughter and the mother that they should get an extended lease on life — and all the others get to die?

    Well, that’s human nature. ?But in modern conventions of drama there is usually an implied subjective story line; that is, a character arc where the character overcomes a flaw to become a better person through the process of the struggling for the objective goal.

    How will resurrecting his daughter make the doctor a better person? ?Or the witch saving her mother a better witch?

    Also, what does “her soul is lost forever” ?mean, anyway? ?What are the real stakes? ?If she is going to her punishment, aka: hell, yeah, that’s a problem needing a solution. ?The deceased needs another chance to get her life right, redeem herself.

    But if she’s going to her reward after she dies, aka: heaven, what’s the problem? ? Resurrecting ?the daughter would be like someone dragging me back to my house and holding me captive there just as I’m on my way to cash a winning lottery ticket that will end all my financial woes. Why should I want to be “saved” like that?

    All I’m saying is: if one is going to use the idea of an after life, at least work out and be true to the logical consequences. ?Which means give the deceased a good reason why she needs to be resurrected. ?Give her unfinished business she must?deal with in this mortal coil.
