Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

The Bloody Chamber
The first part of The Bloody Chamber shows a lot about fairy tales with a combination of dark elements. The beginning of the book introduces two characters, though their names are not mentioned. Compared to other novels read this semester, this novel has a postmodern style to it because of how it doesn't reveal the names of characters and it's style of writing. An example of a fairy tale with the main story being connected is the main character falling in love with a beast and the beast turning into a man just like the actual fairy tale itself. Overall, the story's postmodern style may make it a bit difficult to follow since the character's names aren't revealed but it is still interesting so far.
