⌇THE COURTSHIP OF MR LYON⌇
Again, started this tale with no idea of the plot or ANYTHING, so i took notes of quotes and lines that stood out to me or reminded me of why i chose Carter in the first place!
PAGE 46 "The storm had cleared as the moon rome and now a glance between the velvet curtains revealed a landscape of ivory with an inlay of silver"
PAGE 48 "There seemed a heavy, soundless pressure upon her in his house, as if it lay underwater, and when she saw the great paws lying on the arm of the chair, she thought they are the death of any tender herbivore. And such one she felt herself to be, Miss Lamb, spotless, sacrificial."
PAGE 49 "But he, hesitantly, as if he himself were in awe of a young girl who looked as if she had been carved out of a single pearl"
⌇THE TIGERS BRIDE⌇
PAGE 71 "The tiger will never lie down with the lamb"
PAGE 71 "The annihilating vehemence of his eyes, like twin suns"
PAGE 73 "Watching me peel down to the cold, white meat"
PAGE 74 "The beast and his carnivorous bed of bone and I, white, shaking , raw, approaching him as if offering, in myself, the key to a peaceable kingdom in which his appetite need not be my extinction"
Both of these short stories explored the well know tale 'Beauty and the Beast', I found it so interesting to look at the story in a different way, a way that showed the beast (male) as a dominant creature from the outside, using his appearance as a way of intimidation but in reality, he is infact a victim of wanting the beauty of the female form. showing FEMALE DOMINANCE?!
