Listen "🤔 Wide Sargasso Sea Fan Fiction: Bertha's Quest for Christophine's Secret"
Episode Synopsis
Two works present fan fiction that reimagines the character of Christophine from Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, offering alternative backstories and motivations not explicitly found in the original novel or Jane Eyre. The first source, narrated by Antoinette, uncovers Christophine's past trauma involving abuse, murder, and a forbidden same-sex relationship, which led to her forced exile from Jamaica. The second source, the "Author's Notes," explains the creative choices behind this fan fiction, revealing inspiration from a song and a desire to explore themes of truth, deception, and the blurred lines between sanity and madness, especially in Antoinette's character. Ultimately, both texts aim to add depth and complexity to Christophine's character, creating a more mysterious and nuanced narrative.
