Jane, from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, is able to better succeed in her relationships with the people she loves than Antoinette, from Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea, because of her strong morals.

  1. I agree with your Thesis because throughout Wide Sargasso Sea we see that Antoinette is depicted as weaker then Jane. I think this will be a successful essay.

  2. Also the fact that Antoinette and Jane both had traumatic childhoods, though Antoinette's was worse.

  3. Jane also searches for love throughout Jane Eyre, whereas Antoinette only searches for Rochester's love

  4. That's really interesting, Forrest. I hadn't thought of their childhoods.

  5. I like the idea. I feel that there is a lot of evidence to support your point, perhaps Jane's denial of marriage to Rochester and St. John could be tied into your essay.

  6. How could Antoinette have employed "strong morals" in her position?

  7. Clean this up. Who is 'her'?

    Also. I think it's safer to say the author allows Jane success because of a moralistic intentionality, whereas JRhys intends....talk to me about this if you need to.
