Publisher's Synopsis
The psychology and interactions of the characters in some of Margaret Atwood's most famous works (Cat's Eye; The Edible Woman; Surfacing) are examined in this insightful study. Revealing both the author's preoccupation with the psychological underpinnings of human behaviour and the fallibility of her characters, each chapter explores Atwood's successful use of the troubled psyche to depict the conflicts of her protagonists.
