I am interested in modern rewritings of fairy tales, so I tried to use Gephi to explore and compare the networks of Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard" and Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber."  I defined links as any kind of familial or marital relation (though very loosely -- housekeeper because the Marquis refers to her as his "foster mother," the narrator refers to the Marquis's maids as "his creatures," and the general friends and acquaintances are included in the young bride's connections), and I included objects that were very relevant to or signified these relationships (the ruby choker that once belonged to the Marquis's grandmother, the ring that was passed down in his family, etc...). Here are my (not as aesthetically pleasing as would have been possible if I was better at figuring out Gephi!) results:

These visual representations of the stories' social networks reveal that the Bluebeard of the original fairy tale (bottom) is incredibly isolated -- his only connections are to his new bride and the keys he gives to each wife as a test/trap (Bluebeard's other wives are mentioned but are given no individual descriptions, so even the amount of murdered ex-wives is vague -- which is why they are missing from this representation).  In "The Bloody Chamber" (top), on the other hand, the Marquis/Bluebeard figure has a great deal more social connections and familial ties than his young bride (the narrator).  This seems very relevant when considering different interpretations of Carter's rewritten tale: contrary to the generally accepted view that Carter's Bluebeard figure is unquestionably a monster who, as in the original fairy tale, hardly even belongs to the world in which we live, the fact that Carter created so many human connections for the character, making him much more embedded in society, points out an interesting tie to Anatole France's very different (and very far from feminist) version of the fairy tale.
