ABSTRACT:

Carter recovers what makes her dramatic works feminist in nature par excellence in stories adapted for theatre, depicting the complexity of sexuality in men and women with the sexual persecution that finally develops to be women who are victims but are emancipated. Her stories in a patriarchal company have explored themes of absent moms, neglectful dads and young women that have been awakened to human beings. Carter has successfully developed a perfect image of unconciliated parallels in the life of the post-modern woman, which differentiate her feministic approach to dramatic writings, superiority against submissively and predation versus preying. Cartern was strongly influenced by the surrealist situationist cultural movement of the sixties with a focus on Absurd theater and sexual populism, contributing to a tapestry of picaresque feminist postmodernism in which he weaved and formulated Western social and sexual ideals. Roberts outlined her view, and noted that the mainstream imagination was dominated by male desire. In fact Carters feminist approach in writing simply works by depicting men as surgeons and lancets in her fiction and drama in which they discern the mind of women and find an alternative way of playing with language and imagination (Roberts 3). This is how women want to be squeezed, refused, warped and twisted. In an attempt to break the dominant patriarchy of men in this world, she unconsciously adopted that approach in the misogynistic world in which she lives. Carter is continually concerned with the esthetics of postmodernism and the strategies of conservatism by this feminist approach, putting women at the forefront of a critical inquiry into the dramatic realm of the feminine and grotesque. Therefore, her work illuminates the postmodernist debate so that the feminine lurks behind a universal masculine masculinity that suppresses contemporary women. The feminist approach to Carter is thus to be' defined and extended to include feminist writing and knowledge (Moss iii).' This approach includes a feminist approach.
