In The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter:
1) How is the Marquis in 'The Bloody Chamber' portrayed and how is this in contrast to The Beast in 'The Courtship of Mr Lyon'.
2) How is The Count in 'The Snow Child' portrayed as a male character?
Does any of the characters link to Carter's feminist views? And if so, how?

It’s a contrast because... actually just take a look at the endings
One ends up dead and one lives happily ever after

2) Male character because he adheres to the stereotypical masculine qualities - he rapes the child (necrophilia), the countess doesn’t satisfy him and hence he finds pleasure - link the theme if hedonism and fulfils it with the child. It suggests his irresistible urges and his ultimate aim is to be fulfilled and pleasured.
He is also a corruptor... then link to the 19th century context of the depiction of gender roles, the dynamic between them.
