Abstract:

This essay will attempt to show how the pastoral ambiguity is portrayed in Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea. The essay will argue that the pastoral is presented through the characters’ idealisation of the former colonised respectively colonising cultures and countries. This is done by focusing on four recurring themes in the concept of pastoral, namely identity, displacement, refuge and return. Moreover, the essay claims that the ambiguity of the pastoral is strengthened by the symbolism and imagery used in the novel. The theoretical framework is mostly represented from Huggan and Tiffin’s work P

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to look into how Jean Rhys describes the complexity of colonialism in the Caribbean and how it affected the colonized people and the European colonizers. Her novel Wide Sargasso Sea is considered to be a re-writing of Jane Eyre, but it also demonstrates social rankings and racial groupings in the colonial society. She does not only describe Mr. Rochester’s first wife, she also depicts the forbidden love story between Antoinette and her “coloured” cousin Sandi. The analysis will have a postcolonial approach by using postcolonial theory and concepts, for example, Sai

Abstract:

This essay is focused on the search for a true homeland in Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea from a Postcolonial point of view. The main protagonist, Antoinette Cosway, struggles with her mixed heritage which is both Caribbean and European. As a result, she suffers from a split identity and searches for a place of belonging. Vital Postcolonial concepts, such as Diaspora and displacement are used in order to investigate the struggle to find a true homeland. Moreover, the main purpose of this essay is to investigate how Rhys uses depictions of nature and colour to convey this search, and thereby int

Abstract:

The love plot is one of the most widely consumed genres of fiction for women. Romance often dictates a woman's identity and her "story" or narrative, leaving little room for other avenues of self-development. However, when romance fails, even in the realm of fiction, women are left with shame. Shame might suggest a catastrophic aftereffect of the failure of women's initial investment of the love plot; however, I argue that shame functions in place of the love plot and helps to provide a critique of the oppressive and patriarchal nature of conventional romance.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>翻譯研究所<br>101<br>This thesis is dedicated to the deforming tendencies in the Chinese translation of the post-colonial novel Wide Sargasso Sea. Wide Sargasso Sea is the exemplary work Jean Rhys completed in her later years. As a Creole herself, Rhys was furious about the treatment Bertha received in its predecessor Jane Eyre. So Rhys changed her name to Antoinette and starts her new life in Jamaica to tell her own story. The novel portrays Antoinette’s childhood from her perspectives and her later arranged marriage with Rochester and his betrayal, and the eventual death in the

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>外國語文學系<br>93<br>This thesis examines the complex racial relations among the white Creole, the white colonizer and the black people as well as the ambivalent power relationships caused by the colonial encounters among the three in the work of Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea. The first chapter discusses Antoinette’s relation to the black servants and the white colonialists. Her vacillation between the worlds of whites and blacks is discussed through Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytical theory of subject formation as the frame of discussion. The second chapter discusses the colonial

碩士<br>高雄師範大學<br>英語教育研究所<br>98<br>Abstract This thesis focuses on the use of the Victorian elements as symbols in Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea and discusses contemporary women’s suffering of colonialism, imperialism and men’s patriarchy. After reading Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece Jane Eyre, Rhys thinks there must be an unknown secret which entangles the main protagonists. Being also a Creole, Rhys thus decides to give a voice to the Creole lunatic in the story. In Wide Sargasso Sea, Rhys applies extensive symbolic skills to the story and displays the complicated inner emotions of the protagon

The two texts both feature the patriarchal oppression and madness of the two leading female characters. The unnamed heroine in “The Yellow Wallpaper” suffers from gradually growing mental breakdown by repressing and being repressed her own sense of self-awareness and se

Wide Sargasso Sea is Jean Rhys's attempt to rewrite Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, to furnish the madwoman, Bertha, with a voice to speak out her side of story, which probes into imperialism and colonization in Jamaica. On the other hand, the inadequacy of the novel is manifested when the blacks are depicted. The thesis contains five chapters. The first chapter briefly indica

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>應用外語研究所<br>98<br>ABSTRACT This study, grounded on the presumption that Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea is the “post-dated prequel” to Brontë’s Jane Eyre, explores how the positive force succeeds in guiding Mr. Rochester toward redemption in Jane Eyre and how the negative one on the other hand pulls his counterpart downward in Wide Sargasso Sea; it also examines how their different destinies are geared to their character development. Rhys's re-visionary novel Wide Sargasso Sea fills the blanks of Mr. Rochester’s unknown life in the West Indies in his youth. This study tries to
