The Snow Child
In this tragic narrative of a child, stripped of innocence, coerced by societal double standards, Carter
adds a final, more sinister message: that even female identity is characterised by phallic authority.
The idea of a thorn tearing the Countess’ skin and being lined upon the stem of the rose, could be
interpreted as a wider metaphor, for modern female identity ‘stemming’ from origins located in
male phallic authority. As a result, the Countess is unable to reclaim her own ‘rose’ and sexuality, as
it is inherently lined and attached to the very male gaze, she sacrificed the snow child to.
