- Shock Value
Use of explicit language in the fairy tales, is using the shock factor because the reader isn't it. this creates shock value and read-on-ability as the reader wonders if she has included other graphic language.
- Feminism
You can see feminist views in these novels by the way Angela carter allows the female characters to be much more dominant in these fairy tales then they bare in the original. They originals used females as damsels in distress and allowed the men to rescue them, Where as in this the female are a lot more independent and allow for the men to be rescued such as in "the courtship of Mr Lyon" this is one of the main feminist stories as the name itself shows that the female is stronger because a man would court a women but now it is the women courting the man.
