Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to provide an insight into the intertextual relationship between two famous literary heroines – Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and Jean Rhys’ Antoinette Cosway, whose respective journeys to independence and self-affirmation mirror one another in many instances but diverge in the happy epilogue of one and the tragic (and often considered freeing) end of the other protagonist. First and foremost, Antoinette Cosway would have never existed without Jane Eyre, as Jean Rhys decided to create a heroine out of marginalised Bertha Mason, the famous Madwoman in the attic, the rageful and insane figure of a scorned Creole whose traits reveal a dark instinct in Jane Eyre herself, a deep well of suppressed emotion. This thesis, however, builds up on the idea that Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Rhys’ Antoinette Cosway are individual characters with both rebellious and conformist traits, and between whom significant connections may be observed, taking into consideration how both of the heroines are posed in relation to the patriarchal society which imposes a particular image of woman on each, along with Antoinette Cosway’s postcolonial (female) narrative of madness induced by imperialist society.
