dc.description.abstractIn my thesis I am examining the development of (post)colonialism and the gothic genre through the process of Othering let it be social or colonial. First through the breakdown of Jane Eyre, focusing on the characters of Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason and their individual place created by the society, as Others. Following with Wide Sargasso Sea and how Jean Rhys subverted the narrative and the viewpoint of the character of Bertha Mason, giving her a distinct voice through Antoinette Cosway, which is not silenced by the imperial views but strengthened by Rhys, who also presents other voices to create a multi-dimensional narrative. Then closing with Anita and Me, where the Gothic and postcolonial meet in the character of Meena Kumar, where England becomes the locus of the postcolonial Other which haunts the land in the image of its immigrants through the body of the protagonist which presents the dislocated anxieties the British must face.
