Drawing on Jean-François Lyotard's characterisation of postmodernism as incredulity towards meta-narratives, Lionel Abel's definition of meta-plays, and David Higbee Williams' perspective on metadrama, this paper examines the postmodern reinterpretation of Shakespeare's tragic heroines in Joy McCullough's novel, Enter the Body. The article analyses how McCullough challenges the dominant male perspective in Shakespeare's plays by giving voice to marginalised female characters. The study explores McCullough's use of metadrama conventions, allowing Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Lavinia to consciously discuss and analyse their stories from the original Shakespearean plays. We argue that this narrative awareness empowers these women to disrupt traditional roles and challenge patriarchal constructions in the Shakespearean canon. Integrating feminist theory with postmodern discourse, this analysis reveals how McCullough subverts traditional literary conventions through self-reflexive commentary and intertextual references. Her narrative strategies reframe Shakespeare's canonical portrayals, empowering marginalised voices and challenging historical gender roles, thereby inviting readers to envision transformative interpretations.
