Jean Rhys’s last novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, is generally identified with feminist and post-colonial issues. This study attempts to read this novel as a reflection of Jean Rhys’s perception of the physical nature as spiritually animated. Revealed, especially, in her autobiography, Rhys believes in a world soul that is reflected in all existence as the manifestation of a greater force. Human love especially, in all its forms, replaces her belief in God. Rhys reflects the same belief in Wide Sargasso Sea, as the main conflict that leads both Antoinette and Edward Rochester into tragedy, when Rochester fails to adjust to this mystical reality because of his Victorian breeding. Awed by the physical reflections of Antoinette’s love for him because of his puritanical up bringing , Rochester fails to understand the spiritual extention of it, which he perceives as sensual only. Disconformity between Rochester’s material English reality and Antoinette’s West Indian spirituality distracts both characters from a happy union.
