“Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea attempts to answer the vast array of questions regarding the inconclusive past of Bertha, the madwoman in the attic or Antoinette, a character originating from a partial role in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. While Rhys has essentially written a fictional biography of the character of Antoinette, she has presented an unfamiliar narrative voice to reveal Antoinette’s story. Rhys introduces the otherwise indefinite past of Antoinette through a set of narrative voices which exemplify the duel, or power struggle, between Antoinette and her husband Rochester. By switching the narrative voice with three major shifts, from Antoinette to Rochester and back to Antoinette, Rhys has established the personality and ultimate fate, pre-determined by Jane Eyre, of each character to be exemplified and exaggerated.”
