Lost in the Bermuda Triangle: The Significance of Locations in Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea
Abstract
This paper attempts to show in what way the exotic island of Jamaica expose the main characters and their fate. This part of the Atlantic Ocean seems to be torn between two different cultures, and also covers the notorious and mysterious Bermuda Triangle. The title is also foreboding for the protagonist’s fate: she will get just as lost into madness as ships in the Sargasso Sea.
