This idea of female sexuality driving the majority of the Gothic, can be identified in Carters story of 'The Werewolf' in which again, the girl is not afraid to carry out acts on a figure which is known to be stronger and more dominant than her. Just as Eve was punished due to her temptation to eat the apple, the girl in 'The Bloody Chamber' is punished too by the Marquis by having an imprint on her forehead of blood in which 'no paint nor powder, no matter how thick or white, can mask that red mark on my forehead'. Despite her instructions to not enter, she expresses to the readers that she feels no fear to do what she knows she is not allowed to do and so this leads into the evil and Gothic themes in which drive the horror of the story.

This can be portrayed in 'The Bloody Chamber' through 'I felt no fear, no intimidation of dread' the girl is speaking in regards about the 'Bloody Chamber' which portrays that she knows the Marquis has told her not to enter. As Eve is blamed for tempting Adam into eating the apple, it is expressed through Carters writing that women whom portray sexuality are responsible in the majority of Gothic literatures for driving evil/gothic characters in the stories.
