Female Subjectivity in Fairy Tales by Angela Carter and Leigh Bardugo
Fairy tale retellings produced in the postmodern fashion present viable opportunity for subversion of the stereotypical representation of women character ubiquitous to the traditional tales. Angela Carter’s “The Courtship of Mr Lyon” and “The Tiger’s Bride” and Leigh Bardugo’s “Ayama and the Thorn Wood” and “Little Knife” represent retellings of the traditional “Beauty and the Beast” narrative. After contextualising the fairy tale genre within its history and development, the paper analyses these four stories with the aim to showcase how their heroines differ from the typical women characters found in fairy tales in terms of their subjectivity. This is done by investigating the monetary value of women in the stories and how it connects to their physical appearance ; next, their ability or inability to stand up for themselves ; and, finally, the physical and internal transformations these characters go through. These elements make it possible to cast light on how the postmodern fairy tales revolve around developed, plastic characters, which do not conform to the stereotypical representation of women in classical fairy tales.
