Keywords:

Jean Rhys, literary stylistics, modernism, narrative voice, identity, feminist literature. Jean Rhys is a pivotal figure in twentieth-century literature whose prose is distinguished by its emotional intensity and stylistic minimalism. Her novels often center on isolated female protagonists struggling with displacement and psychological instability. This study examines the stylistic features that characterize Rhys’s prose and explores how these features reinforce her thematic concerns. The aim is to identify key aspects of her style that contribute to the depth and resonance of her literary voice.

Abstract

 This article explores the literary stylistics of Jean Rhys's prose, focusing on her unique narrative voice, lexical choices, and sentence structure. Through a stylistic analysis of selected passages from her major works, particularly Wide Sargasso Sea and Good Morning, Midnight, the study demonstrates how Rhys's style reflects her central themes: alienation, identity, and feminine subjectivity. The findings contribute to a better understanding of Rhys’s stylistic contribution to modernist literature and feminist narrative.
