There are many ways the human body can be described. It can be literal, anatomical, or poetic. All of these wrapped up will sum up the essay “The Female Body” written by Margaret Atwood, who put words to the wonders and complications of a woman’s body.

Laura’s body is marked by descriptors of fragility; her eager consumption of the goblin men’s fruit in exchange for a “precious golden lock” leaves her “wasted,” “undone,” and “knocking on Death’s door” (8, 13,17). This reflects traditional ideas which profess that women’s bodies are readily receptive to, and easily “ruined” by the temptations presented by men. Yet, through…
