Abstract

The article examines feminist-vegetarian incidents in Daphne du Maurier's short stories "The Chamois" and "The Blue Lenses." It explores the treatment of animals in "The Chamois" which reveals the link between male violence and sexual dynamics between men and women, the interconnected oppression of women and birds, and commodification of female animal's fertility. It discusses the scenes of female food rejection and the interconnected victimhood of women and animals in "The Blue Lenses."
