After reading 'The Bloody Chamber,' what stood out to me the most were the parts detailing the girl's relationship with her mother. As a college freshman hours away from home and transitioning into a new period of my life, I can relate to the main character in some ways. Although I am not headed into marriage like she is, we both find ourselves away from familiarity and the comfort of having a solid relationship with someone close to us. The girl and I are both nostalgic about our pasts, but in some ways still excited about what the future brings (that is, until the girl finds out her husband is a murderer).
