In this study of Charlotte Bronte ’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys ’s Wide Sargasso Sea I aim to consider the representation of the doubleness of selfhood‚ and how both between and within the two novels a continuous mirroring of double identity‚ (reflecting like a hall of mirrors)‚ can be traced. I will concentrate chiefly on the duality of the female personae‚ although I will also consider briefly the concept of doubling across gender boundaries.

"And yet my heart wanders away‚ My soul roams with sea‚ the whales’ home‚ wandering to the widest corners of the world‚ returning ravenous with desire‚ Flying solitary
