The Bloody Chamber - Sexuality and Theory

Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories is a theorist’s nightmare. If you want to learn about it you should read these texts, rather than trying to plagiarise somebody’s essay by paying for it. That is not learning, and you are doing yourself and the education system a dis-service by even being on this website.
