        <description><![CDATA[The guide to "The Bloody Chamber" gives sound revision type summaries of the major themes in the work. They include:
Bestial versus spiritual imagery and action
Gender stereotypes
The linking of sex and death
Loss of innocence
Carter makes use of gothic elements such as the setting - a castle on a remote island and the secret room. Women as victims to a powerful perpetrator is also a convention of Gothic characterization.  Elements of the...]]></description>
