Listen to me theorise about 'Wolf Alice' in the video podcast below:
Angela Carter’s short tale ‘Wolf Alice’ is the final story and the most overt amalgamation of wolf and girl. This strange formation gives Alice license to initially act in any way she wishes without gender boundaries being imposed upon her. When she is imprisoned by the sexless nuns, she becomes less wolf and more Alice. By becoming more female throughout the story she then becomes a commodity by which sexuality is now an available currency. The use of the mirror to discover herself becomes an important part of her gender formation. She is able to create a self by which others will perceive her. This discussion will focus on gender perception and propose that pornography is the ultimate product of such.
