Abstract:

As Angela Carter’s short stories are adapted from traditional fairy tales in a controversial way, she is regarded as one of the most ingenious writers in Britain. In Carter’s short stories, protagonists are all brave, strong, and self-conscious females who surprise all the readers. Her rewriting is a subversion to the traditional fairy tales. 
This thesis analyzes the female images in The Company of Wolves, The Tiger’s Bride, and Wolf-Alice. By comparing with traditional female images, the author finds that the female images in Carter’s short stories accord with the features of the new woman and subvert the traditional female images.
Combining with social circumstances in which women are in a low position, it is easy to find out that as a feminist, Carter hopes to arouse women’s self-awareness and change women’s social circumstances through encouraging women to resist patriarchy and be independent.

Keywords: Angela Carter; traditional fairy tales; new female images; subversion

摘  要：

安吉拉卡特是英国最具独创性的作家之一，她的短篇小说以一种具有争议的方式改编于经典的童话故事。在卡特的短篇小说里，主人公都是女性，她们勇敢，强大，富有强烈的自我意识，令世俗目瞪口呆，完全是对传统童话故事的颠覆。
该篇论文从这些不同以往的女主人公着手，重点分析《与狼为伴》《老虎的新娘》《狼女爱丽丝》这三篇短篇小说中的女性形象，通过传统文学作品里的女性形象与卡特短篇小说中的女性形象对比，发现卡特所塑造的女性形象符合新女性定义并且彻底颠覆了传统的女性形象。
    结合卡特女权主义者的身份和她所处的时代特征，不难发现卡特笔下的新女性形象被赋予了激发女性自我意识，通过反抗父权社会和让自己变得自强独立来改变女性社会状况的使命。
