	Jean Rhys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Rhys (August 24, 1890 - May 14, 1979), originally Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams, was a novelist in the mid 20th century.
		Rhys was born in Dominica (a formerly British island in the Caribbean) to a Welsh father and Creole mother.
		During this period, Rhys lived in near poverty, while familiarizing herself with modern art and literature, and acquiring the alcoholism that would persist through the rest of her life.

		Like her protagonist, Jean Rhys was a creole `white nigger' (85) born into the layered colonialism of the late nineteenth century Caribbean, and paid the price in her life of a stigma which converted an intransitive and involuntary condition of hybridity into what her society claimed was the embodiment of a transgression against nature.
		Jean Rhys' protagonist, Antoinette, explains why she is referred to by the local population of her native island of Jamaica as a `white cockroach' (102).
		Rhys constructs a semi- or quasi-autobiographical journey which might be described as an allegory in the shape of a moebius.

	Jean Rhys
		Rhys does not depict either character as the hero or villain, but she focuses on the complexity of each and the dynamics of their relationship and why it failed them both.
		Jean Rhys said in 1974: 'When I was happy, I had no wish to write.' Rhys's life flitted from periods of depression fuelled writing to brief moments of happiness, but her drinking remained a fixture (along with her passion for shopping).
		Jean was one of the few who cannot (or who, for whatever reason, has become unable to) accept such constraints - a disposition that became her subject - ways she wrote as an outsider who was trapped inside, showing the 'grown-up' world as it looks and feels to such a prisoner.

	Jean Rhys and Identity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In studying Jean Rhys questions of identity frequently surface, both in relation to Jean Rhys and in relation to her heroines.
		Those who praise Rhys for her insights based on cultural location are rejecting the concept of universality by recognizing the importance of culture.
		Nancy R. Harrison in Jean Rhys and the Novel as Women's Text (The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 1988) uses clothing to compare the seuxal hierarchies in England to racial hierarchies in the Caribbean, suggesting a similarity in situation between Anna's relationship to Walter and a slave's relationship to her master (81-2).

		Rhys is not named as the "very pretty and gifted young woman", the "doomed soul, violent and demoralised", whose affair with Ford "cut the fundamental tie" between Bowen and her partner and "showed" Bowen an unfamiliar "side of life".
		Bowen represents Rhys as a Pandora figure in the bourgeois, homely world she is trying to secure as grace for her family, releasing into it "an underworld of darkness and disorder, where officialdom, the bourgeoisie and the police were the eternal enemies and the fugitive the only hero".
		Rhys notes in "L'Affaire Ford", which contains a detailed response to Arthur Mizener's quotations from Bowen's representation of her and uncritical embellishment of it in his biography of Ford, that the pedigree of family origins was accorded special weight by Bowen.

		Jean Rhys's called herself as "a doormat in a world of boots." She dealt with the theme of a helpless female, an outsider, victimized by her dependence on an older European man for support and protection.
		Rhys and her husband were divorced, but in her books she constantly returned to it, more than to her second and third marriage.
		Rhys' answer is not solidarity between the females; her heroines are victimized both paternal men and society, where women fail to provide protection for each other.

		Jean Rhys was born Ella Gwendoline Rees Williams in the British colony of Dominica in the West Indies on 24 August 1890, the fourth surviving child of her parents.
		After divorce from Lenglet in 1933 Rhys was married to Leslie Tilden Smith from 1934 to his death in 1945, and to Max Hamer from 1947 to his death in 1965.
		Rhys has been an important figure to feminist criticism because of her final success over difficult life-conditions and her major literary achievements, but her awkward and troubled protagonists are far from feminist heroines and Rhys herself predictably objected to any such label.

		Rhys illustrates the injustice of Rochester's assumption that the mother's madness must inevitably be passed on to the daughter.
		Rhys, on a literal level in her rewriting of the Jane Eyre text, created a double to Bronte's Rochester which has the effect of subverting our belief in his innocence in the Jane Eyre text.
		Rhys furthermore shows that Rochester's cruelty towards Antoinette is due to a projection onto her of his hate for his father, and the marriage arrangement which he has been pushed into: 'They bought me, me with your paltry money.

		Rhys explores and explodes in her novel both the unitary perspective of the original story of Jane Eyre and the supposed vantage point of the white Creole woman, untangling a whole landscape of tensions in and outside her protagonists, which makes it difficult to identify a stable ideological stand in the novel.
		Rhys purposely lets the readers' judgment oscillate between Annette's supposed lasciviousness and her actual mental vulnerability that would make her the easy vehicle of fl men's retaliation on the white planters.
		Rhys complicates the power and gender struggle even further in that Antoinette and her mother Annette are not simply 'colonised' by men and their status of victimage can by no means be equated with the violation fl women in particular endured during and long after slavery.

		Rhys also refers frequently to the notion of obeah, which relates to fl magic and spirit theft.
		The use of such ideas by Rhys is concordant with the daunting elements that define the gothic genre.
		Therefore, the reader senses that the imperial powers were all subjected to this inversion driven by greed in effect, and this literary technique is an effective way of mirroring this inversion of good to bad in human beings.
