Sumario:The purpose of this thesis is to carry out a contrastive analysis between two well-known 19th century English canonical novels (Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights) and two Caribbean works (Wide Sargasso Sea and La migration des coeurs), which, from perspectives that manifest problems of Gender, race, and colonized-colonizer friction are posed as reworkings of the selected novels. We want to investigate the rewriting strategies they carry out of the canonical texts, based on some of their characters and actions, taken to another historical-cultural setting with its own symbolic elements and the intention of dismantling the social and gender binary, characteristic of the conceptions hegemonic Eurocentric structures imposed on the colonized peoples in the 19th century.
