Rochester's Personal Journey

The erotic, romantic and wet landscape of John Duigan's novel "The Wide Sargasso Sea" is the most important. Behind these themes is a power struggle between the two protagonists and their interdependence. Antoinette Cosway and British spouse Edward Rochester arranged to get married and live together. Under this arrangement the initial desire and benefit between the two will begin to collapse with the secret and fear soon revealed.

Rees seems to be very concerned about racial discrimination, gender discrimination, classicism, and personal sadism that promotes the mixed situation of Rochester. Rochester said he was tired of Antoinette, but she said that she was "thirsty", but this is a warning image of casual consumption. "This is not love." On the other side of the thin partition of Antoinette's room, he tortured his wife with a young servant named Amélie. His sexual use is as provocative revenge for imagination as his use of the anthreyn: he thinks Amelie is laughing at him But this intimacy, happy malice is complete It is his own. Like Antoinette, the use of Amelie by Rochester only increases his racial discrimination; as he finishes her, her skin is deeper and her lips become thicker than I thought.

Rochester, or Antoinette's husband speaks the majority of the novel in terms of his marriage to Antoinette. Rochester himself experienced a slight identity crisis in the West Indies and ruined the identity of Antoinette. The process by which Rochester moved from England to the West Indies was to bring his power to the land of foreigners and was excluded for his British identity. It was at this point that Rochester began to despise Antwanet's Caribbean Association and features. Rochester does not recognize the identity between Antwanet's Caribbean identity and the black caribbean servant. He tried to imagine that she was an ordinary British girl and kept distorting and manipulating her identity.

Rochester is an unsafe person who needs someone to be with him so that he can dominate her physically and mentally. Marriage between Antoinette and Rochester made her crazy just like her mother 's marriage. Antoinette lacks freedom and a man Rochester will have sex with anyone he chooses like Amelie. One of the reasons that family history as a slave owner of Antoinette and her father's slaves were Rochester's hatred against Antoinette. But the night I spent with Emily was inconsistent with him, making him slave and sleeping Caucasian. Rochester is a manipulator that uses people according to their wishes. He did not feel resentment, continued to use Jane Eyre, where she became his slave and he was responsible.
