... As the novel Wide Sargasso Sea progresses Antoinette changes with every experience that colours her blood. ...
In part one we see Antoinette as a young, estranged child, who is isolated from both her mother and society. ... Noticeably, we see the other side of Antoinette’s marriage “there is always the other side always”. ... Antoinette does not ‘change’ per say, but rather we see another side of Antoinette, coloured by her husbands feelings and emotions which changes with every passing event. Through his narration not only do we see the ‘English perception’ of Antoinette but also the husbands feelings and frustration.
The husband, like Antoinette has been rejected and isolated by his family. ... His views on the landscape, people and Antoinette changes with rapidity. He seems to drift in an out of a delirious state, ever-changing with his feelings and emotions “not wild but menacing” yet “this place is very beautiful”. All these “mad conflicting emotions” colour his narration of the landscape, people and most importantly, Antoinette.
In her childhood, Antoinette is the victim of a vengeful, racial, status-oriented society. ... Realising that Antoinette and the landscape are eternally linked, he searches it for answers, answers that it cannot tell. The people and Antoinette become evil and conspiring because of his mistrust of them.
