Abstract

This paper analyses the figuration of monstrosity in Leonora Carrington's surreal memoir Down Below. By focusing on the author's remembering of her experience at a Spanih asylum during World War II, we are going to concentrate our exam on the representation of monstrosity both at a mind and physical level.
