The book is awesome, and it's fun to compare them, but they should be looked at sort of separately, if that makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-53727451203768925142008-10-11T15:35:00.000-04:002008-10-11T15:35:00.000-04:00Like Ti, I loved the novel and the movie *Rebecca*...Like Ti, I loved the novel and the movie *Rebecca*.

I think its better to approach it separately from Jane Eyre, however.

I loved it, but it's a very bleak book. I read it long before Jane Eyre, and strange as it may sound I think that made it easier for me to appreciate it. Because after you become attached to Jane Eyre, it's hard to see the characters portrayed in such a different way.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-74181246609397840492008-10-10T12:54:00.000-04:002008-10-10T12:54:00.000-04:00I'm not sure I'd call Wide Sargasso Sea a prequel ...I'm not sure I'd call <I>Wide Sargasso Sea</I> a prequel to <I>Jane Eyre</I> since their timelines overlap. It's more like a retelling of the story from the point of view of the first Mrs. Rochester.
