The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories reflects Carter’s questioning of the social fictions that shape the reality of women and challenges various myths of feminity through the creative and critical process of rewriting. The title story recasts “The Bloody Chamber,” which opens the collection, is based on the macabre story of “Bluebeard” and uses Perrault‘s classic version as its main intertextual source. Though it follows the same character and setting that raise issues of sexual awakening and depravity of an innocent virgin, Carter boldly combines fairy tale with pornography to explore the relationship between eroticism and power. In this paper, by comparing “Bluebeard” with “The Bloody Chamber” focusing on Bakhtins’ carnival world and grotesque body, I analyze how patriarchal ideology changed and deconstructed itself. Moreover, through crossing over the boundary of the fairy tale, the storytelling of Carter, which transcends time and space, is produced continuously as an narration of the uncanny and provocative. In “The Bloody Chamber” filled with pornographic eroticism and grotesque sexual desire, Carter reverses the traditional roles of female victim and male victimizer. To show this, Carter adapts the setting of “The Bloody Chamber” to carnival world where the dominant authority of men and strict hierarchy of class are subverted and taboo is destroyed. Therefore, “The Bloody Chamber” de-naturalizes the borders between masculine violence and female subjectivity by mixing, parodying and subverting their conventions, codes and modes of address written during the heated debate over pornography in the late 1970’s.
