Among them is Bertha Mason, a troubled soul who has since the late 1970s attracted enormous critical attention from students of feminism and postcolonial studies. Critics have also seen Bertha as a "dark double" alter-ego of the heroine Jane Eyre, and other times Bertha is understood as representing an archetypal "subaltern" woman whose sacrificial self-immolation in honor of a deceased husband was once part of Indian tradition. Women's sacrifices are expected even today, if not literally then figuratively in all male-dominated societies in the East as well as in the West. Women from all over the world are in some ways still very much objects of coercion and "manhandling" both within the public and private spheres. This paper compares Bertha to Jane with a special focus on the ways their lives literally and figuratively touch the lives of others. It highlights some significant differences and similarities in the manners Bertha and Jane both "touch" and "are touched" by the other characters.}, pages = {51--57}, title = {バーサ・メイスンの怒りに触れる-ブロンテ著『ジェイン・エア』を読む-}, year = {2011} }
