Abstract
The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction by Angela Carter, first published in 1979. This paper examines the theory of genres of the fantastic, gives insight into theoretical and thematic dualities through exemplary tales, analyses the context of a postmodern Gothic fairy tale and its tropes and themes, discusses locality and setting through Foucault’s heterotopias and introduces a different perspective on pornography and sexual desire in Carter’s stories. This paper will argue that Carter’s collection transcends the boundaries of a specific mode and genre and that each story is an independent narrative unit set in its own world with a particular set of laws of nature and spaces that play a significant role in the structure of these narratives. It will also propose that there are six archetypes of sexual desire; two female and four male ones, and that pornography plays a major role in Carter’s fairy tales.
