Abstract:
Angela Carter is a contemporary British writer, well-known for her magical realism, radical feminism, and originality. Magical Realism is the writing mode which is extremely important in Carter’s short stories. This paper tentatively focuses on the study of Magical Realism in Carter's short stories. This paper unfolds from two distinct angles: Realism and Magical Realism in Carter's adaptive stories such as The Bloody Chamber, The Tiger's Bride and The Snow Child.
As for Realism, Carter’s short stories not to a small amount are based on traditional fairy tales and she rewrites them in modern contexts. Compared with those three archetypal fairy tales: Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs subsequently, it can be concluded that her short stories are possessed with the realistic characteristics.
As far as Magical Realism concerned, this paper mainly probes into fantasy in these three short stories. Furthermore, the distinctions among the male characters and the female characters disclose the harsh reality for the females and the awakening women's subjectivity.
At the end of the paper, the author investigates the significances of Magical Realism in Angela Carter's short stories. Though the three stories acquire magical characteristics and bald fantasies, all in all, Angela Carter aims to single out the inferiorities of the females in a patriarchal society and advocates woman's independent minds to live in an equal society.
Key words:Angela Carter; realism; magical realism; women’s subjectivity; equal society
