Nelson is an allegorical sketch written in the early 20th century. This play is centered around the themes of good versus evil, represented by the characters of the Black Witch and the White Fairy. It is designed to be performed, particularly for celebrations like Hallowe'en, showcasing the transition from darkness to light as the witch's nefarious plans are thwarted by the fairy's benevolence. The storyline unfolds with the Black Witch attempting to conjure spells of darkness and chaos during Hallowe'en but finds herself increasingly powerless as her allies abandon her. The arrival of the White Fairy ushers in a critical confrontation where the fairy ultimately breaks the witch's rod—a symbol of her power—leading to the witch's demise. In a twist shaped by the pleas of children, the fairy restores the witch to life in mortal form, commanding her to forsake her evil deeds and embrace goodness. The play concludes on a note of triumph, emphasizing the victory of light and joy, suitable for a young audience, and reinforcing the messages of redemption and the importance of nurturing kindness.
