| dc.description.abstract | This essay aims to examine the portrayal of the reproductive and aging female body as horrific in
Oz Perkins’ Gretel & Hansel (2020). It proposes that the reinterpretation of the Grimm brothers'
classical fairytale as a feminist coming of age story, centering Gretel as the protagonist and the
witch as a mentor, allows for a subversion of horror film tropes pertaining to the reproductive
female body. The essay identifies and discusses various tropes surrounding horrific renditions of
women, focusing mainly on the figure of the European witch and the figure of the Mother, before
giving an analysis of their appearance in Gretel & Hansel (2020). | en_US |
