For the presentation, my group decided to discuss the question, “Do Carter's fairy tales challenge or reinforce patriarchal constructions of female sexuality?” - a question stemming from Dunker’s remark that “Carter is rewriting the tales within the straitjacket of their original structures. [She merely] reproduces the original, rigidly sexist psychology of the erotic”.
