![]() Key words: Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride, the White Goddess, a dystopian world, Hecate, Fredric Jameson Augusta, Paula and Erin symbolize oversimplified and parodied versions of the destructive Hecate in an unpromising world and “the not-good place” that resembles a dystopia. However, our analysis has revealed that the younger generation of “goddesses” does not bring hope to the female gender in either the present or the future. As the symbolic counterparts of Diana, Venus and Hecate in the novel, Tony, Roz and Charis demonstrate how women’s integrity has been crippled and how the restoration of female principle is just a utopian idea. ![]() Several scholars have explored the symbolic relationship between the three major protagonists in The Robber Bride and fragments of the omnipotent image of the Neolithic deity the White Goddess.

Time and the critics will tell, but one dares to think that perhaps she has. To reimagine David Copperfield plausibly requires both total immersion in the work that Dickens himself called his “favourite child”, and a creative gift equal to his own. It is the latter text that provides the template for Kingsolver’s novel. Its literary predecessors include Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, William Wordsworth’s The Prelude, and, most famously, Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield. Now, in a new novel of immense power, she returns to the dark places of childhood and adolescence, mapping a territory that many have experienced but few dare recall.ĭemon Copperhead is a Bildungsroman: a narrative of an individual’s formation.
