Feminist Halloween 2016: Day 2: Empathy for the Devil

Posted in Feminist Halloween, Gender, Media, queer, tagged gothic romance, Hannibal on 2016/10/02| 3 Comments »

This absolute treasure of an essay and accompanying video by Evan Hayles Gledhill and Dr. Lori Morimoto explore the themes of the genre of gothic romance and the parallels between William Godwin’s Things as They Are, or the Adventures of Caleb Williams (1794); Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (1847); and NBC’s TV series Hannibal (2013-2015).

Feminist Halloween, Day 9: Clarice Starling and Ardelia Mapp

Darling readers, NBC’s Hannibal (or should I say, “Haaaaanibal”?) has ended (for now). In preparation for season 3, I read Silence of the Lambs for the first time.* I have to say that Clarice has grown on me, and I’ve discovered the amazingness that is Ardelia Mapp.
