A new Brontë-related thesis:
Karolína Kiliánová
Západočeská univerzita v Plzni, 2022
This thesis mainly focuses on the comparison of the main characters in two famous novels Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. In the novel Jane Eyre, the thesis will analyze the characters of Jane Eyre, Bertha Mason Rochester and the character of Mr. Rochester and in the novel Wide Sargasso Sea the characters of Antoinette Cosway and Mr. Rochester as well as in the novel Jane Eyre and it will introduce side characters as well. Both authors used numerous associations that concern The British Empire in their books following the most distinguished which are imperialism and colonialism. Both imperialism and colonialism can be found in the plot itself, in the main characters and side characters and their surroundings. The thesis focuses on the characters and their role in the stereotypical imperialist and colonized world and how the side character's behaviour affected the behaviour of the main characters who are Jane Eyre and Antoinette Cosway. This thesis also proves that the characters in the novel Wide Sargasso Sea happen to be linked a lot more with the main focus which is imperialism and colonialism.
