Angela Carter pays attention to the position of women at home and in society, which has earned her a reputation as a major British Feminist writer. She views women’s status as defined and restricted by social institutions and practices. This dissertation examines Carter’s conception of women’s identity in The Magic Toyshop focusing on her demythologization of patriarchal myths with the idea of subaltern and the masquerade. In her early novel, The Magic Toyshop, Carter describes oppression and suffering in a patriarchal house, and argues the inevitability of escape from such a world and the need for the disclosure of the masculine mythology. According to Gayatri C. Spivak, the subaltern women cannot speak in a circuit of dominant epistemic violence. To express their voice, they must wear the mask of silence, which is the attempt to refuse the given language ruled by the Father’s Law. Therefore, the mask leaves women’s real identity unquestioned, and enables them to move beyond their limited space and enjoy their freedom. To sum up, in The Magic Toyshop, Carter depicts a masked female subject who successfully overthrows the Father’s law and survives patriarchal ideology imposed on women.
