"Wide Sargasso Sea," authored by British writer Jean Rhys in 1966, serves as the focal point of this scholarly analysis. The research herein delves into multifaceted aspects, encompassing the profound cultural disorientation and identity dissolution inherent within the narrative, Rochester's pervasive influence upon the character of Antoinette, and the consequential ramifications of Antoinette's formative milieu on her evolving persona. Through a comprehensive examination of these thematic elements, our objective is to illuminate the intricate psychological and sociological transformations experienced by the female protagonists within this enduring literary masterpiece. Furthermore, this inquiry unveils the underlying socio-cultural underpinnings that manifest throughout the text, providing insight into the broader contextual significance of the work.
