Charlotte Dacre's Zofloya, or the Moor (1806) has not been justly appreciated in the female Gothic studies. Many critics has suspected that Dacre was a misogynous anti-feminist, having internalized the contemporary gender ideology and foregrounding a sinful mother whose voluptuousness caused dysfunction of an idealistic family and an overly passionate heroine whose apparent punishment was very worthy of her excessiveness. However, highly strategical and mechanically repetitive comments of the narrator on a so-called ‘bad mother’ belies itself rather than confirms the author's final moral judgment. Similarly, the negative appraisal of Victoria, the so-called ‘anti-heroine,’ needs to be modified. Victoria's excessiveness is not to be understood as the evidence of her villainy but as the way Dacre tries to engage in and rewrite the contemporary gender ideology. Victoria's transgendering results from the author's intention of highlighting the performativeness of gender role. In short, Victoria, who becomes increasingly darker and more masculinized as the novel progresses, together with all the other masculine female characters in the novel, asserts that they are only desiring subjects, refusing to be the objects of male desire. Majestic and towering Zofloya, none other than Victoria's double, renders visible the magnitude of the undeniable female desire in a patriarchal society, however consistently it has been reduced and silenced. Though such desiring subjects as Victorias cannot escape the fate of being punished and buried in the texts on the surface level, they always resurface with their persistent female monstrosity.
