This paper examines how hegemonic discourse, or the ideology of a dominant society has essentialized, fixed, and divided identities through the construction of binary division of Western’s ideology as civilized and Others as savages. The development of postcolonial theory will be introduced with special consideration to Said’s (1995) theory of Orientalism and Spivak’s (1988) concept of “silencing the Others.” Sample Western literary texts will show a concerted expression of colonial ideology supporting the concept of binary divisions. These will include The Tempest by William Shakespeare (1990), Robinson Crouse by Daniel Defoe (1899), Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (2001), and Passage to India by E. M. Foster (1985). In contrast, literary works by minority authors, mainly postcolonialists, will be examined and considered according to how effectively they resist Western imperialist ideology.

The study aims at depicting how male and female authors portray female characters and how their core ideologies and social influences affect these depictions. This study is based on the feminist stylistic approach, proposed by Sara Mills (1995), embedded with the literary theory of feminism. It is an overlapping field that has its roots in critical discourse analysis. This stance is significant as it allows to critically look at the substance to uncover the ideology related to women. From a feminist stylistic perspective, the notion of presenting the distorted image of the female entity is associated with male authors leading to the point that female authors portray female characters positively as compared to their male counterparts. By employing Halliday’s transitivity framework (2004) in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as an analytic tool, the utterances of the female protagonists from both the novels: The Blithedale Romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, have been analysed into the process, participants and circumstances. Social influence, mostly in the form of male domination, on ideologies and linguistic choices in the depiction of women in both the writers’ work has been found on almost equal grounds.

La hipótesis que proponemos en este trabajo es que con la reescritura de esta novela de Charlotte Brontë (1847), la guionista Moira Buffini y el cineasta Cary Fukunaga hacen dos cosas: en primer lugar, recuperan la imbricación entre la violencia y la sexualidad que caracteriza a los relatos literarios y cinematográficos pertenecientes al género gótico femenino. Y, en segundo lugar, mediante su adaptación guionista y director actualizan dicho género, en la medida en que ahondan en la oposición estructural existente entre, por un lado, los ideales culturales –tales como la pureza femenina, o la independencia de la mujer– y, por otro lado, el apasionado deseo heterosexual de algunas mujeres.

O presente artigo, a partir de teorias de Georg Lukács (2000), Ian Watt (2010) e Octavio Paz (2012), discute como a modernidade encontrou no gênero romance uma forma de propagação de valores burgueses da época. A partir dessa problemática, buscamos entender como o enredo de Jane Eyre (1847), romance vitoriano de Charlotte Brontë, representa a lógica cultural vigente dessa época. A trajetória da protagonista apresenta a translocação de uma condição de oprimida para uma personagem eminente e responsável por suas próprias ações. Assim, os encadeamentos das ações em Jane Eyre representam os próprios valores burgueses do século XIX que estavam instaurando-se na Europa.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Era Vitoriana; Romance; Jane Eyre; Modernidade.

<p class="AbstractText">All human beings seek certain identities in order to understand their existence and position in society, the groups to which they belong, and the unique characteristics they have. This paper examines how, in <em>Jane Eyre</em>, Charlotte Bronte examines socially constructed institutionalism in Victorian England. This paper also explores how the protagonist, Jane Eyre, oppressed due to her social class and gender, struggles to live with equality, dignity, and freedom, and finally reaches independence and self-fulfillment. Jane successfully completes the stages of identity development, and, after acquiring a sense of competence, achieves happiness and intimacy in an equal partnership with her true love, Mr. Rochester.</p>
