This project provides an in-depth study of narratives about
Bluebeard and his wives, or narratives with identifiable Bluebeard
motifs, and the intertextual and extratextual personal, political,
literary, and sociocultural factors that have made the tale a
particularly fertile ground for an author's adaptation of the
story. Whereas Charles Dickens, for example, expresses a
sympathetic identification with Bluebeard, and a discernable strain
of misogyny emerges in his recreation of the tale and recurrent
allusions to it, his contemporary, William Makepeace Thackeray,
uses the tale as a springboard for his critique of avarice,
hypocrisy, pretension, and the subjugation of women in Victorian
society.
