ESSAY ON: Orientalism in “Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: This is a 10 page paper discussing the idea of Orientalism and the novel the “Wide Sargasso Sea”. Jean Rhys’ novel “Wide Sargasso Sea” is a good example of imperialism and colonization from the perspective of someone other than the colonists which makes it a good example of the Orientalist method of literature. As the Orientalists vision can promote the difference between the ‘familiar’, in the case of the novel, England and the ‘strange’, or the Caribbean, Rhys does a good job at distinguishing her main character’s acceptance of the people, culture and landscape in contrast to the English colonists who live there. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
