          1. Direct address, inescapable fate of reader also

                              1. Somewhat oxymoronic as cages are intended to entrap
                                1. Rowe: 'fairy tales perpetuate the patriarchal status quo by making female subordination seem a romantic, desirable, indeed an inescapable fate.'
                                  1. Like the objectivity of The Count which appears appealing to The Countess, yet 'bites'
                                    1. 'Although he looked after them very affectionately'
                                      1. Women fooled into believing they have equality etc, or being happy to endure this state as they are being 'looked after'
                                  2. Symbol of the patriarchal constructs in society
                                    1. Maniken: 'The Erl King is a complex rendering of a subjective collusion with objectivity and entrapment within the male gaze. The woman narrator both fears and desires entrapment within the birdcage.'
                                      1. The fear and desire of female towards marquis in BC
                                    2. 'old fiddle' with broken strings
                                      1. Neglect and abuse, yet the possibility of harmony
                                        1. There can be change and enlightenment regarding patriarchy
                                          1. The intention of the gothic genre is to challenge and destabilise the way culture has shaped our ideologies
                                      2. 'his great mane'
                                        1. Animal imagery
                                          1. Symbol of male dominance
                                            1. Yet here it is used to murder him- the double edged sword of patriarchy and how it entraps men also
