Download Rochester and Bertha in "Jane Eyre" and "Wide Sargasso Sea": An Impossible Match Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, course: The Victorian Afterlife, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Bertha Mason in Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre is a character without history or personality. She is depicted as a mere beast, bent on destroying her husband. The reader knows -and dreads- her from both Jane's and Rochester's perspective. Rochester claims that Bertha's lunacy was the sole trigger for the disaster that followed, but the narration reveals hints that suggest other factors may have contributed to the destruction of their marriage. Jean Rhys proposed a past for Bertha and her husband. Her novel Wide Sargasso Sea creates a life for Bertha, on the background of which her madness is neither surprising nor inevitable. Whereas there is no doubt that she does become insane at the end of Rhys's novel, the reason for this is not her evil nature but a destructive relationship along with her transportation away from everything she ever knew into the cold of England. Wide Sargasso Sea is more than a prequel to a famous Victorian novel. It speaks out not only for Bertha but for all the other West Indian women who found themselves in similar situations.

Download Jane Eyre's American Daughters Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Jane Eyre's American Daughters is about the influence of Charlotte Bronte's romance on North American writers, including Susan Warner, Louisa May Alcott, Martha Finley, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Jean Webster, Eleanor Porter, and L M Montgomery. John Seelye demonstrates that the reception of Bronte's Gothic romance in America was filtered through Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of the author, published shortly after her friend's death in 1855. A sentimental classic in its day, Gaskell's book promoted an image of Charlotte as a long-suffering creative genius with high moral standards. Her biography necessarily overlooked Bronte's obsessive love for her Belgian professor. Constantin Heger, an older and married man. Though Heger did not return Charlotte's affection, he was the model for the lovers in Bronte's novels, including the passionate, adulterous Edward Rochester, who inspired censorious reviews questioning the moral character of the author when Jane Eyre was published in 1847, a reputation that Gaskell's biography successfully countered.

"In Wide Sargasso Sea, Rhys gives voice to the creole woman and provides a space for the other's enunciation by "creolizing" Jane Eyre. Rhys creates a place that is at once both Jane Eyre and not Jane Eyre, an ambivalence that captures the struggle of Bertha and Jane's identity. Wide Sargasso Sea's relationship to Jane Eyre as a re-vision/rewriting is a third space that allows, I argue, for the enunciation of the other. While a postcolonial/racial foundation prompts the rewriting of Jane Eyre, the gender of both women relates to their status as subaltern. Rhys' re-vision is a complicated act of subaltern agency, in which the author locates a third space of ambivalence to reiterate the feminist struggle of Jane Eyre as well as revoke and then reinscribe critically the racial and feminist struggle of Bertha Rochester."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This thesis explores the mobility and identity formation of the characters Jane Eyre in Jane Eyre and Antoinette Cosway in Wide Sargasso Sea through the lens of human geography and cultural geography, and general space and place studies. This thesis suggests that even though Jane and Antoinette have similar circumstances and conditions, they develop autonomy inversely to one another due in large part to their ability (or not) to recognize and navigate through safe and dangerous spaces.
