| dc.description.abstract | In this case, I will examine two tales, published in different decades. To be more specific, this
text will examine the “masculine representations” in both “The Bloody Chamber”, written by
Angela Cater in 1979, as well as The Orphan, written by Amelia Opie in 1806. Furthermore,
overall topic in which I will examine is the masculine representation in both of the texts,
which will be defined by the way in which masculinity is represented, especially through the
characteristics and behavior of the masculine characters in the different stories. This paper
will focus on each of the most prominent masculine representations throughout each text,
which is the Marquis in “The Bloody Chamber” and Douglas in The Orphan. However, to
fully examine the role and extent of the masculine representations, it will also be highlighted
through other characters as well | |
