Deixis in Charles Williams’s Et in Sempiternum Pereant
Journal Title: Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich - Year 2016, Vol 59, Issue 1
Abstract
Based on the Deictic Shift Theory as adopted by cognitive poetics (Stockwell 2002), this paper offers an account of fear generating mechanisms involving spatial, temporal, perceptual, relational and compositional deictic shifts in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber. Focusing on the ways the reader gets involved in the terrifying story of Carter’s protagonist, the paper uncovers the complex mechanism of the “production of horror” in the text.
