Abstract: This paper attempts to present an analysis of the excellent use and the effects of collage narrative strategy in the Bristol Trilogy created by the highly-acclaimed contemporary British woman writer Angela Carter. The analysis is approached from three aspects: reality and imagination, surreal vision, and surrealistic representations of women. The paper argues that though unconventional, the representations of women still fit the archetypes and the myths made by the patriarchy.
