Resumen

Las expresiones metafóricas relativas a los niños en las novelas y relatos breves de Margaret Atwood se pueden agrupar en dos series coherentes. La extensa serie negativa incluye una amplia variedad de monstruos y de animales repugnantes, mientras que en la reducida lista de representaciones positivas figuran girasoles, joyas, plumas, angelitos, regalos y corderos. En las obras de ficción de Atwood, las representaciones negativas de los niños generalmente adoptan formas no convencionales y reflejan la frustración que sienten en su vida diaria los personajes caracterizados de manera realista. En cambio, las expresiones positivas tienden a ser estereotipadas y a menudo pertenecen al mundo de los recuerdos, los sueños y las quimeras.
