This dissertation aims at a comparative analysis of two feminine characters lives in the novels Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing. Both stories have as socio-political and historical context the British colonization in the Caribbean during the XIX century as well as in Africa in the XX century. The similarities between the lives of both characters are revealed as we focus on their subjective identities and bring to the foreground the emotional and psychological aspects that largely contributed in the choices of their lives and impelled their tragic destinies in a fatal and implacable way. With the support of some theorists thoughts like Edward Said who speaks about facts concerned with the English colonizations, Sigmund Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Michel Foucault who will help us to understand the characters psychological side. This work will discuss colonial society, identity, sexuality, marriage and the culmination of their tragic deaths
