cage by any other name : enclosures in angela carter's nights at the circus
abstract
in this study of sights at the circus, i analyze angela carter's
critique of the literal, figurative , and theoretical "cages" in which the
system of patriarchy encloses women. i appropriate the three phases of elaine
showalter's paradigm of a female literary subculture as a starting point for
my own feminist analysis: the feminine, the feminist, and the female.
