	The Sargasso Sea
		The Sargasso sea is part of the North Atlantic Ocean, lying roughly between the West Indies and the Azores.
		For centuries the Sargasso Sea was dreaded by the seafaring because of its deadly calms.
		The Sargasso Sea must remain an enigma of this globe, for the forces that have created it have created a masterpiece of visible nonconformity, which may only be the tip of the iceberg for invisible disharmony in its elements.

	Sargasso Sea
		The Sargasso Sea is located around the Bermuda Islands between Florida and the Azores in the southwestern North Atlantic and partly belongs to the area of the Bermuda Triangle (see: ”Story” Atlantic Ocean).
		The Gulf Stream and the North Equatorial Current encircles the Sargasso Sea, causing the oval-shaped sea to flow in a slow, clockwise drift.
		The Labrador Sea is characterized by two different biological mysteries: the seaweed sargassum natans, and the eels, returning every year to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.

	The Unique Sargasso Sea
		The location of the Sargasso Sea is in the North Atlantic, bounded by the Gulfstream on the West, the Greater Antilles on the South, and Bermuda to the North.
		The Sargasso Sea is also known as the "Horse Latitudes" because when the Spanish Sailors found themselves trapped in the Sargasso Sea for weeks, they had to toss their horses overboard in order to conserve on water.
		The mystery of the Sargasso Sea was merely transposed later to the Bermuda Triangle.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the story on the Sargasso Sea?
		The Sargasso Sea is a 2,000,000-square-mile ellipse-shaped region of the North Atlantic Ocean extending south and east of Bermuda.
		Although the ubiquitous seaweed might lead one to suppose the Sea to be an unusually fertile stretch of ocean--a marine jungle, as it were--its warm, still waters have actually long been considered something of a desert in biological terms, with relatively little life (except for the seaweed, of course).
		The Sea's special properties are a result of it lying in the center of a huge oval of relatively still waters bounded by ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream, which circle it clockwise, sort of like the eye of a very huge, very, very slow, permanent hurricane.

		A Labrador Sea float, #24215, was deployed six months after 24211, and also transmits at 7 day intervals.
		Between intervals 48 and 49, the float probably moved from warm Sargasso Sea water into a cold core ring of the Gulf Stream as it crossed the New England Seamounts.

	Sargasso Sea
		You might think that the barren waters of the Triangle are just boring sea, vast, tempestuous, and seldom viewed by man, being a deep blue with white caps and foam.
		The heart of the Bermuda Triangle is covered by the strangest and most notorious sea on the planet— the Sargasso Sea; so named because there is a kind of seaweed which lazily floats over its entire expanse called sargassum.
		The Sargasso Sea calls to mind the greater mystery of shape and mass of our planet, with the resultant anomalies of wind and sea.

	Tour Of The Caribbean - The Sargasso Sea
		Its name is derived from the curious amber-coloured weed, the sargasso, with which its surface is covered and through which the steamer ploughs its way.
		Some believe that the sargasso is torn from the rocks about the Gulf of Mexico, from the shores of Florida and the Bahamas, and that it is drawn from the Stream into the great still eddy.
		The Sargasso Sea is haunted by derelict ships that have lost both master and men, and that, with none to guide them, wander blindly through the waste of weed, like weary ghosts seeking a harbour that is never gained.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Wide Sargasso Sea
		The opening sequence of Wide Sargasso Sea is a lush, slightly surreal shot of entangling strands of kelp, the plants that infest the waters of the title.
		Wide Sargasso Sea scores high marks for ambiance: it sets up a vivid, slightly menacing world of decadent ex-slaveholders and resentful ex-slaves, spiced up with a hint of voodoo magic and a touch of madness.
		We start out with Antoinette as a little girl, dealing with her mother's problems; this is essential to the development of the story later on, but it feels rushed here, as if we're flipping through the pages of the book to get to the main part of the story.

		Wide Sargasso Sea reveals the story formerly left unrevealed by Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre: the details of the first marriage of the dark, mysterious Mr.
		She published a few respected but obscure novels and short stories in the late 1920s and 1930's, when she was already in her forties, then disappeared from view for twenty years, until the BBC dramatized one of her works as a radio play in 1958.
		This story was finally published in 1966, at which point she hadn't published anything meaningful in a quarter of a century and was almost as old as the universe itself.

	Wide Sargasso Sea
		After all, even if Rochester is never called by his name, we perfectly recognize him and as for most of the other characters, she has kept the same names (for instance Grace Poole, Bertha’s keeper).
		Wide Sargasso Sea is divided in three parts of unequal lengths: the first part, the heroine’s childhood, is narrated by Bertha herself (or rather Antoinette, Bertha is the name Rochester will choose to call her by, despite her dislike of it).
		In the second part, the narration is shared between the male character (let’s call him Rochester) and Bertha-Antoinette; we witness the birth and fatal evolution of the relationship between the two protagonist in the Caribbean.

	Comparison of ‘Jane Eyre’ with ‘Wide Sargasso Sea’
		However our hatred for Rochester is heightened when he says, "she will not laugh again," (referring to Antoinette) in 'Wide Sargasso Sea'.
		In 'Jane Eyre' we did not see Rochester as a villain at any point in the novel, however in 'Wide Sargasso Sea' I believe he is portrayed as a villain.
		One other differences in the novel is in 'Jane Eyre' we hear a biased opinion from Rochester, and other sources, while in 'Wide Sargasso Sea' we hear a variety of opinions about the same person, e.g.

		Jean Rhys might have started writing what became Wide Sargasso Sea shortly after her return from Dominica in 1936, the one return visit she made to the island of her birth after leaving it as a teenager in 1907.
		Some of this writing was destroyed by Rhys, but other parts of it may have survived and gradually been added to under the vague title of “Creole,” a token of her desire eventually to write about her memories of the West Indies.
		Wide Sargasso Sea is a prequel to Jane Eyre in that it tells an extended story of Rochester’s visit to the West Indies to marry an heiress, Bertha Mason.

		Although written by different authors in different eras, whose styles of writing couldn't be more diverse, 'Wide Sargasso Sea' retells the story of the mad Creole wife locked away locked away in Rochester's tower, only this time from the wife's perspective.
		Through lush, ripe prose that perfectly suits the sultry Jamaican setting in which much of the book is set, we learn the emotions and passion that lay behind their marriage before suspicion, physical obsession and cultural differences (as well as Antoinette's much highlighted hereditary mental instability) all play their part in destroying the relationship.
		Neither Jane or Rochester are ever named directly in 'Wide Sargasso Sea', indeed Jane's presence in the book is only fleeting, yet the shadow of the story of Jane Eyre is forever present, as indeed will be Antoinette's poignant story during future readings of Bronte's novel.

		But as European ships left the familiar shores of continental Europe and their trade routes in the Mediterranean to venture out into the Sea of Darkness, or Great Green Sea of Gloom, as Arab geographers called the Atlantic Ocean, they encountered great rivers within the sea--the ocean currents.
		With an ever increasing number of expeditions to discover new lands and a sea route to the East Indies, mariners slowly accumulated new knowledge of these currents.
		William Bourne, in his A Regiment for the Sea (1580), describes how the Portuguese in sailing toward the East Indies kept away from the westward setting Agulhas current off Cabo bone sperance (Cape of Good Hope) by sailing a hundred or a hundred and fifty leagues south of the Cape.

		The accumulated weight of these direct references and indirect allusions points toward the Bermuda Spires in the Sargasso Sea as having probable significance in the endgame solution of the Evan Chan murder mystery.
		This current spec regarding the Sargasso Sea and the Bermuda Spires pertains to the solution of the background detective story.
		Indeed, the very term "Sargasso" has acquired a secondary meaning beyond its primary reference to a region of the Atlantic Ocean, coming to signify any such surrealist montage in the language of writers and poets, from Ezra Pound to Nathaniel West.

		One part of "Wide Sargasso Sea" that I considered flawed is the depiction of the woman, Christophine.
		If you enjoyed "Wide Sargasso Sea," there is a good chance that you will enjoy her other books too--although I would have to add here that if this was the first Rhys novel for me, I doubt that I would bother to seek out her others.
		I feel that the other Rhys novels were really far superior, and it is surprising to me that "Wide Sargasso Sea" was responsible for her reputation as a novelist--displacedhuman.

		When her family is ruined, as many plantation owners were, by the abolition of slavery, she is left to grow up entirely neglected, unacceptable both to the white community and to the former slaves living around the plantation.
		Not as great as the novel which inspired it, Wide Sargasso Sea is an interesting and engrossing read.
		It depicts Antoinette's descent into madness in an unusual way; the book only really covers her lucid episodes, being principally written from her point of view, and so there are many gaps for which the only evidence for what has happened is what she is told by those around her.

		The story of Bertha, the first Mrs Rochester, Wide Sargasso Sea is not only a brilliant deconstruction of Brontë's legacy, but is also a damning history of colonialism in the Caribbean.
		The story is set just after the emancipation of the slaves, in that uneasy time when racial relations in the Caribbean were at their most strained.
