Roz Mortimer’s Wormcharmer presents us with a
dichotomy between a housewife and worms.
We are told in an anatomical report about the life of
worms and forced into making comparisons to what we
see and what we hear. The narration holds its form as
documentary while the melancholic fantasy tells us
otherwise. The housewife and her surroundings are
used as a metaphor for containment, alienation and the
reproductive discourse is shared between worm and
wife.
