I’m thinking to rewrite the part one of “Wide Sargasso Sea” from Tia’s point of view. Although there are lots of problems such as my unfamiliarity of the situation in the place in those days, I think it may be the same if I choose other stories related post-colonial. I’ll think the detail from now on.
Basic structure of my story:
Tia’s feeling during holding a good relationship with Antoinette
Tia’s feeling after breaking the relationship (or the process from Tia's point of view)
Tia’s feeling after hearing a kind of successful marriage of Antoinette’s mother
Tia’s feeling during the time that is from hearing a plan of black people’s attack against Antoinette’s house to throwing a jagged stone at Antoinette.
If I cannot summarize the story, I’ll shortly mention Tia’s feeling when she heard Antoinette’s marriage, and Antoinette’s destruction.

What a great idea! It's interesting of course that while WSS reorientates the narration towards Antoinette's (Creole, female) point of view, the black people in the novel are still secondary to her personal dramas. Your proposal - a rewrite of a rewrite! - addresses that. You'll need to think about idiomatic language use to get her in mode (look at how she and the other black people voice themselves in the original novel for guidance).
