The Clash of Two Worlds : Birth of Monstrous Doubles
Original language description
The Clash of Two Worlds: Birth of Monstrous Doubles This paper examines the techniques of doubling and mirroring in the context of the nineteenth century. Female writers of this era were not allowed to address certain sensitive issues publicly; they needed to create dark monstrous doubles in order to express their anxieties. This paper focuses primarily on the role of doubling in Charlotte Brontë's canonical masterpiece Jane Eyre and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's gothic tale “The Yellow Wallpaper”. It attempts to go beyond the obvious parallels between Jane Eyre and her dark double Bertha and Jane the narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” versus the mysterious woman behind the tapesatry and it aims to provide a deep analysis of the doubling based on Camille Paglia's model of western culture. It also draws information from Jean Rhys' novel Wide Sargasso Sea where she depicts the early moments of marriage between Mr Rochester and his wife Bertha.
