This text was very interesting, it related closely to the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. It demonstrates the character Berta found in Jane Eyre. In the Novel Jane Eyre Bertha is described as a mentally disturbed woman who comes from the Caribbean, the only reason she left is because she got married to Mr. Rochester for her money. Rochester’s story was only a cover up from all that Bertha had faced. It was what any outsider would believe if they hadn’t heard her side. Wide Sargasso Sea shows us that she wasn’t just a mentally unstable woman who wasn’t white. She had faced so many battles over racism, sexism, economical discrimination. Wide Sargasso Sea gives Bertha’s history and who she actually is. It gives us an inside view that it wasn’t her fault for anything that happened to her and Mr. Rochester was partially at fault as well as the time period she was in. The two different views are very important for the reader to understand what it was like through a white male’s perspective and a black woman’s perspective. During that time period everything was different and white male’s were the superior race. They were in charge, they held power. They believed they held so much power they needed to enslave people of color. The two characters Mr. Rochester and Bertha ultimately had two different fates at the end of the novel, Bertha was finally free of the cruel world she was stuck in.
