註釋Analysis of Jean Rhys's novels in terms of A.J. Greimas' structuralist actantial model exposes patterns of dependence characterizing the relations between the female characters and their lovers and husbands. For certain passages, however, application of Greimas' model proves problematic, as the actantial roles gradually seem to disappear. These deviations ultimately lead to a critical reflection on the structuralist model itself and to a definition of its weaknesses and patriarchal bias. In the second place, Rhys's handling of narrative technique, more particularly the inclusion of numerous alternative views and versions, is discussed.
