Jean Rhys had a special position in Dominica, where she was born, as a ”Creole”. Creole originally refers to a descendant of a European and a Negro but Rhys was a ”Creole” because she was the descendant of European settlers. So she was white, still a ”Creole”, colonizer and colonised at the same time. This fact had a great effect on her life, attitude and her works. Being colonized and rootless appears in many of her writings. I will show the traces of this in her work entitled Wide Sargasso Sea, which depicts the story of a colonising marriage.
