Abstract: | Angela Carter has been fascinated with the ‘bloody’ way the female body has been scripted by culture as a corporeal-textual site for gender identity. Her attack on women’s discourse of self- victimization, her depiction of violent sexualrelationships and of femalesexuality as either deadly or monstrouslyvoracious, all indicate affinities with the Gothic. This study focuses on the violence of identity construction, in relation to the main character of the novel The Passion of New Eve (1977), who has to turn from man into woman in order to reach a deep understanding of selfhood. |
