Anglea Carter In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting the two female agents in the stories ‘The Tigers Bride´ and ‘The Werewolf´ in regards to the post-modern feminism of our times. Initially in ‘The Tigers Bride´ a father looses her daughter (beauty) to The Beast in a game of cards. Obviously Beauty resents her father for this act, this is shown in, “My father said he loved me yet he staked his daughter on a hand of cards.” Whereas in ‘The Werewolf´ the young daughter is also put at risk by her mother, when she is asked to take her grandmother some cakes through a dangerous forest. Both of the female characters are exposed to danger in the beginning of the stories In this day and age it is questionable if these females would strictly follow the commands of their parents and also due to equality they would be allowed to decide for themselves. It would seem that both females would encounter instant misery yet this is not the case. Even though both characters are faced with danger they still continue instead of fleeing.
