Overall Beatrix Potter as an author has captured the very essence of food within her texts, to be food, need food and become food. I have explored a wide range of her texts from the start of her career as an author to the darker more sinister texts at the end. Throughout my research I have learnt that not all of her texts are innocent and some certainly have a darker undertone. The care Potter took within her texts is evident in the way she used human characteristics to explore the animalistic within her characters.
