Before analyzing the way in which Carter created a Gothic story from the tradition fairy-tale of Bluebeard‚ we must first understand the meaning of ‘latent content’. Freud explains latent content to be ‘the forbidden thoughts and the unconscious desires which appear in the manifest content but are disguised and unrecognizable.’ However‚ in saying this‚ the manifest and latent content can sometimes be indistinguishable (referred to as ‘Infantile dreams’); much like in the case of Carter’s The Bloody

Bluebeard Sara Bierly D. I think the theme to this painting would be Politics and the Social Order because‚ the way Rabo describes the painting reminds me of Eugene Delacroix’s painting “Liberty Leading the People”. The picture in the potato barn is an enormous realistic painting of what the Karabekian’s experienced in World War II. Delacroix’s painting displays the Revolutionary war. Although the painting signifies liberty and justice unlike Rabo’s painting‚ it displays the suffering and realistic

A curious nature can lead to misfortune when one does not have good intentions. Charles Perrault adapted the traditional folk story of ‘Bluebeard’ to be morally and contextually appropriate for his late seventeenth century French audience. Perrault devised his take on the tale from a variety of cultural versions‚ with the character of ‘Bluebeard’ seen as the ‘other’ compared to what is perceived as ‘normal’ in each culture.

I think that Carter chose to rewrite "Bluebeard" to further elaborate on all of the characters in the story. Rewriting this story allowed Carter to go in-depth and provide more of a backstory for Marquis as well as the girl and her mother. In rewriting “Bluebeard” Carter was able to make the girl’s mother the heroine‚ unlike the original story.

The sticky berry juice on Heaneys hands is compared to the bloody hands [that were] as sticky as Bluebeards; the sweet fleshy taste the author thirsted for so strongly is in resemblance to Bluebeards craving for real flesh and blood Bluebeard yearned for. Bold imagery apparent‚ this conveys a literal description of the process of picking blackberries‚ yet also a deeper meaning introduced by the mention of Bluebeard; the cycle of life and death.
