proposal for my re-writing

Re-write from 'Wide Sargasso Sea' by Jean Rhys.

The primary topic is 'Daniel Cosway' who is Mr. Cosway's illegimate child,
the character from 'WSS'

if Jean elucidated, in her re-writen work 'WSS', how Antoinette descended into 'a demonized woman in attic' and how her selfhood was bruised by patriarchal world,

I want to elucidate the bruise of Dinel Cosway's.
who had to be named 'old Mr. Cosway's illegimate child' in 'WSS'
who never be welcomed neither white nor black community, much cruel than Antoinette's.

because i thought, maybe, possibly, Daniel is the one who is an object of sacrifice of slavey or colonialism. i am still not sure how my story will goes on however, i will try to make the audience understands 'why he conceived a deep hatred against Cosway family and the world'

Hi, your idea sounds good.

It will be interesting with Daniel Cosway being a more important charcter in the story as when I read WWS I did wonder about him and was hoping to find out more about him in the story, as he was Antoinette's brother..

I can't wait to see how you portray Daniel Cosway and how the story will pan out

goodluck with your writing!!

Hi Lee,
I like the idea of developing this character a little further, as there was not much at all said about him in the actual novel. It must have been extremely difficult for him to grow up as a half-cast child (out cast).
I can understand the feeling well because my mother's father was half cast (the off spring of a German land owner and ex-slave worker - some would just say: a child of the plantation in those hard days in Brazil.). A lack of identy and self confidence were characteristics of those plantation children, and they've passed on to their children as well, unfortunately.
I can't wait to read all you re-write.
Kia ora koe.

Hi everybody,
I've made the same mistake again; can somebody delete the second posting for me, please?
