Bluebeard by Angela Carter
A young, impressionable wife enters a marriage with a wealthy, secretive husband who forbids her to enter one locked room; curiosity drives her to disobey, and inside she discovers the grisly bodies of his former wives, exposing the murderous violence behind his charm. Facing imminent death, she is saved at the last moment by her resourceful mother, and Carter’s retelling amplifies the tale’s gothic sensuality and brutality while probing themes of sexual awakening, power, and the ways women survive and reclaim their stories.
