1. 1. 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 humaniora

   Författare :Nathalie Pontén; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Wide Sargasso Sea; Jean Rhys; Jane Eyre; Colonialism; Patriarchy; Orientalism; Edward Said;

   Sammanfattning : 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.
