The important themes in Wide S
In part one of the novel "Wide Sargasso Sea", the themes of betrayal, love and family relationships and gossip clearly centre round the main character Antoinette. Then there are brief introductions to freedom, identity and love for nature, however they are still important. In the earlier part of the novel one immediately gets a feeling that the relationship between Antoinette and her mother (Annette) is very poor. Annette seems to take more interest in Pierre, maybe as he is severely sick compared to Antoinette. Annette is oblivious of her daughter's whereabouts. She does not know where she spends the day or whether she has a new dress. Antoinette longs for a sense of safety and security that she is unable to get from her mother. After one learns of Pierre's d
In a way he rescued their family from poverty, however, he planned an arranged marriage which was not a very plausible act. Her dreams are also important in that they serve as a premonition to her life. Also, she even dreams about the forest. Betrayal and unfaithfulness is also prominent in part one. eath, Annette seems to have been affected emotionally and mentally that she pushes Antoinette away from her. Antoinette was verbally tortured by a girl who was calling her 'white cockroach', and then again by an albino boy and his friend. Christophine represents the authority figure in the novel, and one observes more of this later on when she tells Antoinette that "woman must have spunks". For the children to be saying these things meant that their parents were saying it. Antoinette confides in Christophine, she has truly been loyal to her. Antoinette and Christophine seem to share a stronger bond or better relationship compared to Antoinette and Annette. Antoinette's life does not seem to be improving in that from childhood, when she endured a great amount of rejection from peers. Christophine sings to Antoinette and she even puts her to bed at night. This later led to her pelting a stone at her face in a time of dire need as Antoinette house was burning and the natives were physically brutalizing them. Antoinette and her Aunt Cora also share a warm relationship, in that she cared for her after the house at Coulibri was burnt down.
