Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen the article on Angela Carters book "The Bloody Chamber" because of my personal interest in her work as well as the themes of feminist and sexuality that consistently appear in her work. I specifically want to look at her three werewolf stories, which deal with similar themes of coming of age and womanhood. Carters work is important in the literary community as well as feminist writers and our ideas of fairy tales. My current impression of the Wiki article on these three stories is that it is good and too the point. The story is broken down to its main plot points. In styles and themes I think that there should be more about sexuality, especially within the werewolf stories since that is such an important aspect.

The current Wikipedia article for The Bloody Chamber is a good article that allows for its reader to get a glimpse into the stories found in Angela Carter's 1979 book. The summaries are well explained and show the meat of the book, though the summaries could be more detailed, especially those that have great cultural value. In regards to the style of themes section, it is well done, but I feel that there should be a heading for sexuality, since it plays such a big role in most of Carter's stories. By doing this it would allow for readers to understand the significance of this theme and the bigger part it plays in the stories. There could also be some more citations to better support what is being said within the themes and style section. By including more citations it would help guide the reader to other source material which could help in better informing them on the topic at hand.
