Heart of dark ness part 2 (thats right i coldnt think of a title)

                Heart of darkness has an abundance of archetypes and symbols. Darkness itself represents evil, mystery, and dismay. The natives are described as black and African creating a negative feel towards them. The sun represents wisdom and knowledge. The dancing that the Africans do leads me to believe that it represents sexual pleasure. Marlow has a almost normal “Hero’s Journey.” Marlow travels across the sea without supernatural assistance, Marlow doesn’t really have many trials to overcome but he does understand the injustice that the Africans must face on a daily bases. When Marlow at last meets Kurtz he isn’t the man he was led to believe. Marlow then returns to England and finally he is able to live life to his hearts desire.

Alright, son your gonna do this and your gonna like it.

                We now see the story being told by Rochester in part 2. Rhys does this to provide more views of the conflict of the story. This method provides insight for the readers to decide which character deserves the pity the most. We are shown that Rochester’s father will not give money to Rochester so Rochester has to marry Antoinette to make 30,000 pounds. Rochester still hunts for tail rather than the love that he gets in Jane Eyre. We can also see a lot of foreshadowing from this story that woul reveal the fate of Bertha Mason. (Probably because we read Jane Eyre) Rochester and Antoinette share a similar trait, which is their abrupt change in emotion. The story belongs to both Bertha and Rochester.  

Let's look at it this way...

                      In part one of Wide Sargasso Sea we are informed of Bertha Mason’s (Antoinette) disabled brother. I mention this fact because I believe it is a huge factor to Antoinette’s character development. We also see her mother slipping into the stages of becoming mad. Antoinette also gets her clothes stolen by a little girl (this I found hilarious) .It is also seen that Antoinette prefers to be alone. Nearing the end of part 1 a fire sets the house a blazed and kills her brother and a parrot. This fire is a symbol that carries a lot of negativity unlike in Jane Eyre where fire held both positive and negative.
