Keywords:
post-colonial, euphemism, racialism, imperialism, contrapuntal.
Abstract
This particular article focuses on two novels, namely Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. What many casual readers are unable to grasp though the reading of post-colonial writing is the various subjects and areas it covers, and how it incorporates all what are currently prevalent in the society, such as ruling class, sexuality, slavery, society, bigotry, and romance are covered by some of the most famous post-colonial critiques. This detailed article will help understanding the hypercritical fact of a euphemistic colonial narrative that mostly gives touchy feelings to the readers about the colonial master's ironical kindheartedness and a fictional yet considerably realistic characterization of a contrapuntal narrative with the help of those terms and their effectiveness quite adequately along with references from both texts. The lineage and background of post-colonial study is also discussed and both novels are thoroughly presented in a postcolonial manner unlike any other.
