“a Room Of Her Own” Voicing The Other. Female Metamorphosis Simulacrum And The Subversion Of The Tradition: A Case Study Of Angela Carter’s “woolf Alice”
Authors : Bouhelais Samira . Bouregbi Saleh .
Abstract
The desideratum to excavate the question of contemporary female gothic has occupied an inaugural status in the literary catalogue. Indubitably, the perspicacity in phrasing the issue of the quintessence of contemporary female gothic fiction between conservation and subversion reveals a relentless pursuit to scrutinize the concealed facets, whose details may be difficult to grasp. Au fond, female gothic writers felt an absolute urge to find a literary essence that would subvert women’s domestic patriarchal ambit. In a larger discursive endeavour that female gothic writers brought their texts to bear on such paramount concern, Angela Carter’s “Woolf Alice” has been woven into the fabric. Ranging from the theme of metamorphosis, subversion to female self-awareness, the story parodies Carter’s conscious havoc of the patriarchal domestic ideology, and the female exigency to reify a room of her own.
