Elizabeth Bowen’s “The Demon Lover”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the various perspectives of Elizabeth Bowen’s short story “The Demon Lover”. The analysis is preceded by a brief biography of the Bowen. Elizabeth Bowen’s short story “The Demon Lover” is considered one of her most analyzed and controversial works in terms of content and implied intention of the writer. Written during the beginning of World War II, the story is about a woman, Mrs. Kathleen Drover, who returns to her home to pick up some things to take back to her family while they are staying in the country during the bombing. Or is it? Critics of the story have various theories about the actual intent and events which take place in the tale. While some critics view the story purely from a horror perspective in which her former psychotic lover from World War I returns, other critics believe that her journey is one from a psychological perspective while others again argue that the tale was written in an allegorical sense and depicts the horror and terror of war itself.
