Abstract

The original French folk tale by Charles Perrault, about an ugly noble man who had anywhere between five to seven wives who died in quick succession and who was always looking to remarry. His castle is a place of uncountable wealth and one of the rooms also is a chamber of torture and death. This old folk tale is given an alternative ending by the British writer Angela Carter in her story “The Bloody Chamber”.
