Examination of Marriage, Power, and Female Liberation in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber
Abstract
This article offers a critical reading of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, highlighting her portrayal of marriage in patriarchal societies as an institution rooted in control and submission. Carter illustrates that women under this oppressive institution are reduced to possessions manipulated by men. The mother who defies the stereotype of the passive woman presents a vision of liberation led by women themselves. This study explores the way Carter uses strong female figures to deconstruct and challenge the traditional narratives and aligns with feminist perspectives that advocate for women’s autonomy, resilience, and self-realization.
