- Title
DEMYTHOLOGIZING BUSINESS: ANGELA CARTER'S REPRESENTATION OF MOTHERHOOD.
- Authors
ÖZYURT KILIÇ, Mine
- Abstract
As a writer who deems herself involved in "demythologizing business", Angela Carter fiercely deconstructs the debilitating myths of motherhood. For her, myths of motherhood turn women into mere agents of patriarchy who transmit conventional ideas about what it means to be a woman in patriarchal culture. Carter divorces herself from the patriarchal myths of motherhood and suggests that these myths are mere designs to produce generations of docile and subservient women. The aim of this article is to trace this theme of demythologizing motherhood in Carter's fictional representations in line with her non-fictional writing. For this purpose, it will focus both on a selection of her most prominent fictional works and on her essays.
