초록
Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys’ rewriting of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte from the perspective of Rochester’s mad Creole wife, is now discussed primarily in terms of post-colonialism and politics of race. There has been much written on the work as it relates to Caribbean history and culture, feminism, and personal identity. Several years after Wide Sargasso Sea was published, A. Alvarez declared in the New York Times Book Review that “Jean Rhys was the best living novelist.” The Protagonist of the work, Antoinette (Bertha) Cosway Mason (Rochester), undergoes sexual and class enslavement as a white Creole woman that positions her within multiplicitous West Indian histories of possession and dispossession. Concerns with sex, race, and the female body reappear in the novel. The recurrent motifs of race and sex are the central elements to get the point of the novel. Consequently, the relation of master to slave, with its knot of race and sex, desire and hatred, power and submission, is a kind of shadowy template behind every sexual relationship in Wide Sargasso Sea.
Abstract
Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys’ rewriting of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte from the perspective of Rochester’s mad Creole wife, is now discussed primarily in terms of post-colonialism and politics of race. There has been much written on the work as it relates to Caribbean history and culture, feminism, and personal identity. Several years after Wide Sargasso Sea was published, A. Alvarez declared in the New York Times Book Review that “Jean Rhys was the best living novelist.” The Protagonist of the work, Antoinette (Bertha) Cosway Mason (Rochester), undergoes sexual and class enslavement as a white Creole woman that positions her within multiplicitous West Indian histories of possession and dispossession. Concerns with sex, race, and the female body reappear in the novel. The recurrent motifs of race and sex are the central elements to get the point of the novel. Consequently, the relation of master to slave, with its knot of race and sex, desire and hatred, power and submission, is a kind of shadowy template behind every sexual relationship in Wide Sargasso Sea.
