ENGLISH ESSAY PROPOSAL1
Q: Drawing on relevant literary theories, identify narrative techniques (like stream of
consciousness, framing devices, etc) in the primary texts we’ve studied this semester to
explore the dynamic between the inner and outer worlds of the characters.
Jean Rhys tells the stories through the prism light of her own consciousness. The
novel “Good Morning Midnight” was written in 1939 , and is a masterpiece creation of hers.
It is a terrifying novel which narrates the story of Sasha Jansen, who has arrived to Paris with

Jean Rhys is not essentially a feminist, and her female characters are not exactly
angry or rebellious. They are generally unhappy dealing with pain and are helpless. However
the character of Sasha is someone who is willing to accept comedies and also can find the
humour in the most bitter memories as well as humiliating encounters. Sasha had been in a
