Resumo: | The advent of colonial criticism, after the second half of the twentieth century, brought to light other ways of reading the world, showing how discursive mechanisms of identity construction commonly reinforce power relations established from colonialism and that are sustained until the present. Based on this, we seek, in this article, to investigate the way in which the identity construction of the character Bertha Mason took place, in the novel Jane Eyre (1847), by Charlotte Brontë, and how, in response to the author’s imperialist feminism, Jean Rhys rewrote the story of the same character in Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) from another perspective, giving voice to a Caribbean woman silenced in the previous plot. In order to do so, we take as input the considerations of Spivak (1985), Gilbert and Gubar (2000), Woodward (2014), Bacellar (2020), among others. Our study considers that literature, from a postcolonial perspective, questions the oppressive discourse that permeates the representation of Latin American and Caribbean cultures, allowing the emergence of other ways of seeing the world, refuting stereotypes and breaking silencing.

[Received on: March 14, 2023 - Accepted on: June 10, 2023]O advento da crítica colonial, após a segunda metade do século XX, trouxe à tona outras maneiras de se ler o mundo, evidenciando como mecanismos discursivos de construção identitária reforçam, comumente, relações de poder estabelecidas a partir do colonialismo e que se sustentam até a atualidade. Com base nisso, buscamos, neste artigo, investigar a maneira como ocorreu a construção identitária da personagem Bertha Mason Rochester, no romance Jane Eyre (1847), de Charlotte Brontë, e como, em resposta ao feminismo imperialista da autora, Jean Rhys reescreveu a história da mesma personagem em Vasto mar de sargaços (1966) sob outra perspectiva, dando voz à uma mulher caribenha silenciada na trama anterior. Para tal, tomamos como aportes as considerações de Spivak (1985), Gilbert e Gubar (2000), Woodward (2014), Bacellar (2020), dentre outros(as). Nosso estudo considera que a literatura, sob uma ótica pós-colonial, questiona o discurso opressivo que perpassa a representação de culturas latino-americanas e caribenhas, possibilitando a emersão de outras maneiras de se ver o mundo, refutando estereótipos e quebrando silenciamentos.

The advent of colonial criticism, after the second half of the twentieth century, brought to light other ways of reading the world, showing how discursive mechanisms of identity construction commonly reinforce power relations established from colonialism and that are sustained until the present. Based on this, we seek, in this article, to investigate the way in which the identity construction of the character Bertha Mason took place, in the novel Jane Eyre (1847), by Charlotte Brontë, and how, in response to the author’s imperialist feminism, Jean Rhys rewrote the story of the same character in Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) from another perspective, giving voice to a Caribbean woman silenced in the previous plot. In order to do so, we take as input the considerations of Spivak (1985), Gilbert and Gubar (2000), Woodward (2014), Bacellar (2020), among others. Our study considers that literature, from a postcolonial perspective, questions the oppressive discourse that permeates the representation of Latin American and Caribbean cultures, allowing the emergence of other ways of seeing the world, refuting stereotypes and breaking silencing.
