Resumo
This dissertation proposes the reading of the English novel Jane Eyre (1847) and
the Caribbean novel Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), with the aim of tracing an analysis
of the colonized female representation of the character Bertha Mason/Antoinette
Cosway throughout the two works. We start from the analysis that the narration of
the protagonist Jane reinforces the stereotype of the colonized woman and
corroborates for the reader to build the image of a crazy, violent and dehumanized
Bertha. On the other hand, the Dominican writer Jean Rhys constructs a novel whose
central narrative is made by the voice of Bertha/Antoinette, so that the immigrant
guarantees her space of speech and can tell what was confined in the attic of
Thornfield Hall. The methodology used to carry out the work was comparative
literature. To support the proposed analysis, the text addresses scientific productions
on the subject, namely: Gabriela Souza Pinto (2017); Danielle Marques (2010); Ana
Maria Zukoski, and Wilma dos Santos Coqueiro (2017). It also makes use of
theoretical-critical productions and studies on identity, colonialism and postcolonial
studies, such as Portrait of the Colonized Preceded by the Portrait of the Colonizer
(MEMMI, 2007); The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the NineteenthCentury Literary Imagination (GILBERT & GUBAR, 2000); and The Empire Writes
Back: Theory and practice in postcolonial literatures (ASHCROFT et al., 2002).
Ultimately, we present arguments that Jane Eyre's narration dehumanizes Bertha,
and that in Vast Sea of Sargassos, Antoinette tells the reader what lies behind Bertha
Mason's dehumanization.
