N2  - Little Tales of Misogyny by Patricia Highsmith presents various circumstances where unconventional female characters are depicted unsympathetically, considered very precarious, and thus die in the end. “The Dancer” is one of those tales, in which the central female character Claudette is murdered by her dance partner Rodolphe while on stage. In this story, dance appears as a medium through which the female protagonist gains space, visibility, independence and power while, on the other hand, it causes her death at the end. This article will explore how representations of dance, sexuality and death reinforce the portrayal of misogyny, making the story a confusing one in terms of feminist reading
