To me this isnt seen to be in imprortant until the confrontation between the husband and mother, as we see the castle and sea as protection for the girl until we realise that instead of offering protection it is more like a prison<br /><br />Ray TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736993954194715116.post-71203164657394976932012-06-28T03:06:56.334-07:002012-06-28T03:06:56.334-07:00This blog gives a really good overview of what we ...This blog gives a really good overview of what we did in class. Even though the story does show male superiority, it also challenges it by portraying the girls mother as a symbol of feminism. She possesses all the traits which show her to be someone who challenges societal views of gender representation. <br /><br />MumtasStudentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620608691383924295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736993954194715116.post-76863014281639250992012-06-28T02:54:25.465-07:002012-06-28T02:54:25.465-07:00I was able to catch up by reading this blog.

I agree with the first review, as I feel Carter challenges what are considered as 'norms' in each of the short stories we have looked at so far.<br /><br />Shazia.Studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620608691383924295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736993954194715116.post-23941984008431601842012-06-28T02:46:22.410-07:002012-06-28T02:46:22.410-07:00As I wasn't in for the lesson, this blog reall...As I wasn't in for the lesson, this blog really helped me to find out what you learnt. When reading the criticisms of 'The Bloody Chamber' I found similar interpretations. I thought Carter used her status of a great writer to manipulate the characters/situations and in tow entwine her own feminist beliefs of gender roles into the narrative.<br /><br />Sophie.Studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620608691383924295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736993954194715116.post-72487515284050984242012-06-27T14:11:44.445-07:002012-06-27T14:11:44.445-07:00This blog summarises all the main activities that ...This blog summarises all the main activities that we did in class based on gender roles. Particularly n the second page of The Bloody Chamber, most things are said to in liminal (transition) state. For example, Beauty narrates "teasingly carressed me, egregious" and "kiss with tongue and teeth in it". One could suggest that Carter is encapsulating Beauty's climax that entails the liminal space of pain and pleasure. <br />Male desire of young woman can be seen when the narrator states "He was older than I... much older than I". <br />Lisa(:Studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620608691383924295noreply@blogger.com
