Angela Carter's "Tiger's Bride" is another widely known version having to do with the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". This version was written in 1979 and shows ways of femininity through the main character of the story she is telling. It shows femininity in a way that doesn't follow certain values ​​in this time period. The protagonist exposes herself to the Beast by lifting her skirt and exposing her body in a way that society would not accept. This shows how women should shed their good looks and good figure and embrace parts they have never shown before. This provides society with an image of women in a different perspective. In this film the mother character is absent, which shows that she only had one father figure, even though he didn't play a good father role. In Carter's “Tiger's Bride” masculinity plays a larger role than femininity and is shown in many ways. The narrator's father in this story bets his daughter on a deck of cards to the Beast. He has a bad gambling addiction and when he loses his daughter, he gets worried. He doesn't have his priorities straight because he was willing to bet on his daughter. This shows society how women are just objects in a male's life and that they hardly value them at all. He only worries after losing his daughter and then says the line about how she is his pearl... He shows no fatherly characteristics, he cared more about other things than his own family. It also shows how the only women in her life, since her mother is absent, have possession over her. He owns it so he was allowed to host it while he played. It shows his lack of care and love for his daughter. This is demonstrated to society as...... middle of paper ......r to the Beast during a card game. The father uses it as some sort of object and uses words like “pearl” and “treasure” to demonstrate how it is. Carter uses these words to describe how the narrator is seen in the game that the Beast and his father also play. This demonstrates the superficiality of society's idea of ​​women. According to society women were looked at like dolls and were burdened by their husbands and did whatever tasks they wanted them to do. The females appeared to be unable to think for themselves or act on their natural instincts. Women also had to play this doll role by simply using their appearance as an important feature in their marriage and doing what they were told by their husband without questioning it. In this story we see how the male gender has ownership over the female character and is socially acceptable.
