| Preliminary scope of work |
| Hlavním cílem diplomové práce bude studium a analýza toho, jak Jean Rhys pohlíží na ženy, způsobů, jakými je vyobrazuje, a jaké role jim přisuzuje skrze ženské postavy svých několika děl. Bude provedena detailnější analýza intertextuality mezi jejím románem Širé Sargasové moře a románem Jane Eyre od Charlotte Brontë proto, aby mohla být představena témata ženského šílenství a vzteku. Práce se také dotkne témat spojených s postkoloniální teorií. Díla, která budou v této práci analyzována, interpretována a probrána jsou Širé Sargasové moře, Kvartet a The Voyage in the Dark. |
