| Resumo: | An analysis of three rewritten fairy-tales from Angela Carter’s The bloody chamber and other stories is provided. In ‘The Courtship of Mr Lyon’, ‘The Tiger’s bride’ and ‘Puss-in-Boots’ patriarchal structures are exposed and denounced as containing strategies to kerb female sensuality and freedom. The beast, a synonym of sensuality, is relativized and de-constructed through the reciprocal gaze and equal relationship. The fearless approach of the female towards it and her dominion over it empower her to a new world order without phallocentrism. |
