I have much enjoyed reading the reviews and analysis of Carter on this site--The Scriptorium. It has a lot of interesting ideas about The Bloody Chamber in particular. I'd like to delve a little deeper when thinking about the Beauty adn the Beast stories, and their oedipal content, though--in some ways aren't they very simple metaphors for the anxieties attendant on marriage arranged by parents, and the consequent loss of control?
