Abstract

This essay argues that irony and parody, characteristics of Margaret Atwood’s writing, are narrative strategies that make it possible to deconstruct the popular costume gothics in her own gothic novel Lady Oracle. It shows how the use and abuse of gothic conventions turn femininity into a masquerade and how gender becomes a performance.
