1. Disrupting Dominant Discourses: : Hybridity in Jane Eyre and Get Out
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för lärande, humaniora och samhälleSammanfattning : This study examines the theme of hybridity in Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre and Jordan Peele’s film Get Out. Both the narrative text in the novel and the script with visual elements of the film use the concept of hybridity through Gothic motifs: a mad non-white woman in the attic in Jane Eyre and a psychological place in Get Out, where members of a white family hypnotise black people in order to exploit their physical capabilities.

2. Hiding in Plain Sight : A Gynocritical Reading of Rochester’s Narrative in Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för humanioraSammanfattning : This essay is the result of a close-reading of the male protagonist’s narrative in Jean Rhys’s novel Wide Sargasso Sea (1966).

3. The Dream Interpreter : A Historical and Postcolonial Analysis of the Development of Antoinette Cosway in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för humanioraSammanfattning : This essay will discuss Jean Rhys’s novel Wide Sargasso Sea from a postcolonial and historical perspective, to show how Rhys’s recreation of Bertha Rochester’s past (Charlotte Brontë’s madwoman in Jane Eyre) can make her end appear triumphant. The analysis will be based on a combination of aspects from the novel’s contemporary English and Caribbean societies and Edward Said’s thoughts about Orientalism, mainly the binary opposition between Europe and the Orient and the creation of Orientalist knowledge.

Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och lärandeSammanfattning : This thesis examines female gender nonconformity as a behaviour in response to Victorian patriarchal oppression in the female protagonist of Charlotte Brönte's bildungsroman Jane Eyre.
