Reactions to a Patriarchal Society in Wide Sargasso Sea and The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (2006) by Maggie O'Farrell presents the weakness of ladies through Esme's destiny in the establishment after her refusal to fit in with wedded life, and furthermore by means of Kitty's desires to turn into a spouse and mother (and in this manner not seek after further instruction). O'Farrell likewise utilizes Iris for instance of a character in the cutting edge who challenges this while having sexual associations with her stepbrother and a wedded man. Interestingly, Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) by Jean Rhys, maybe determined by her own women's activist plan, presents female weakness with regards to the mid nineteenth century, through the character of Antoinette, who is compelled to wed an Englishman so as to be acknowledged by society. Rhys likewise stands out her from Christophine, a dark lady who lives alone and rehearses Obeah, an enchantment thought about no-no.
