Instead of becoming victim to her husbands view that all women are whores who should be punished, her brief marriage causes her to see through the ideology of romance and the idealization of the feminine woman, and thereby to take her place in the world as a fully responsible human being.
Since pornography and religion have informed mens phantasies about women his work is integral to Carters interrogation of the Western imagination in pursuit of demythologizing woman.Ĭarter rewrites Bluebeard from the point of view of his fourth wife, an impecunious young pianist with a belief in romance. Sades attempt to demythologize motherhood and femininity was therefore in her mind as she was revising Perraults classic fairy tales and he became the model for Bluebeard. In 1979 her interests coincided in the publication of two different but related works, The Bloody Chamber and The Sadeian Woman. Carter repeatedly declared her interest in the myth of woman and the construction of sexuality.
